//:Commercial work for BUG

This was a matte-painting/photocollage for a commercial for Mitzubishi that I worked on at BUG in 2006. It was seen only briefly in the background in one of the films but it worked very well.

Originally done in 8k resolution, this was a huge painting/collage consisting of over 50 photos of well known Norwegian fjords and mountain as well as a lot of photoshop painting. The idea was to create a vast and impressive landscape that resembles the nature in northern europe and emerse the viewer in the films.

The films can be seen at BUG's webpage here...

I also did the shading for the cars and modeled alot of the exterior shots along with Rob Womersly and Kim Hellgren. And addition to that i also did alot of modeling and tweaking on the cars them selves. Lasse Michelsen was the project AD and did all the compositing and layouts and TomTom did sound.

Here's some renderings from the films that shows that graphic background up against the stylish cars.

One of the commercials also was rendered in stereoscopic HD for a screening at the Cannes Lion show in 2006. Wicked!
