Luxury visuals for Rolls-Royce

When an object is so polished it acts like a mirror on all sides, camera angles become a conundrum.

We used a robotic arm to minimise reflections, attaching a lightweight Panasonic S1 and minimising manual capture.

Our 6K raw format enabled bold cropping in post-production without any loss of resolution, to detail the movement of light across wood grain and glowing metal. 

Post-production also required attention to colour in the reds of the wood, complementing the ocean turquoise.

We focused on capturing the Rolls-Royce emblem, called the 'Spirit of Ecstasy', and how the dog's personality reflects that notion of joy and devotion.

Stitch details, gleaming fur and chunky leather textures.

But even for a well-trained dog, perfect stillness is an impossibility. Simply breathing creates huge motion at macro scale. And despite extensive grooming, fur will pick up micro particles that become obvious later on. 

Our 4K footage required extensive stabilisation, slowing and pixel-perfect cleanup to address these challenges.
