DHA - Look Forward
The campaign takes the viewer on a journey through a range of different scenarios where we juxtapose freedom with the hassles of managing a property. In the vignettes, we start off by taking on the roles of different people, enjoying their leisurely time with scenes of properties being managed and maintained on their behalf. The end result is a surrealistic mix of live action footage and CGI that seamlessly blend the actions together.
The main body of work was to insert a virtual diorama's inside other real world shots. The diorama scenes, set up in previous shots would then have a rug-pull moment revealing a different perspective. The challenge came with figuring out how one world would fit into another. The Beach reveal raised the question of where does the sea go and how can we keep the roughness
without having weird edges. For this, we rebuilt the waves lapping against the metal of the sink. For some reveal shots we rebuilt whole worlds in 3D to give the director the camera moves he wanted. The Vespa and Keys reveals are entirely 3D except for the people. Matching the 3D to the real footage and keeping a macro look became a careful balancing act where pushing one too far broke the illusion.
