Latest work out of the Grinder Films stable in Cape Town is a new commercial for the Russian drinks market produced by Grinder Films for Park Production Moscow and Directed DOP’d by Grinder in-house talent Robert Payton.
The commercial required the creation of diverse water elements, effects and vortexes and capturing them at high speed frame rates of between 400 fps and 1000 fps. The camera of choice was again the Phantom Gold HD supplied by Media Film Services in Cape Town.
Needless to say, extensive Postproduction was required to integrate the live action and water elements together but this was limited largely to Comp-work in Online and very little actual CGI production was required thanks to the quality of the water elements material achieved in the Grinder Studio.
