We are always looking to get our teeth stuck in to commercial productions. It's an opportunity to break boundaries and think around the subject… or put simply, to creatively let rip.

Here's a 60-sec TV spot for Benedetti's Pizza, directed by Mighty. 3D CGI mixes with live-action in a high-octane animated romp!
This is Mighty's spot for coffee brand Sello Rojo, featuring a CGI farm.
Guest director Daniel Rieley created a gorgeous clip for New Look, bringing to life a pair of golden glitter shoes in and around London with a guerilla stop-motion shoot. We see the shoes shopping, having coffee with friends, and taking a ride on the South Bank merry-go-round, before returning to a New Look store to [...]

A short 15" spot for Whiskas, via TBWA in Netherlands. Following the success of Trunk's campaign for Whiskas, TBWA wanted to re-visit the cloth-puppet fishes from an earlier spot "Taffy". Trouble is, there was no fish anymore… So, 3D artist Darragh Mason had to re-create the fabric fish in 3D CGI, and duly animate it [...]

To promote and bookend a documentary about Toyota's F1 team on the Discovery Channel, Steve directed a small team of 3D animators to create 4×50-sec spots. Uniquely rendered in outline, the CG car was stripped down from the actual engineer's model. Conceptually, commissioner Andy Fowler from Brothers & Sisters wanted each spot to follow a [...]
