Nutrish Meal Soups
This beautifully crafted campaign brings together filmed sequences featuring people with a variety of busy lifestyles showcasing the speed of cooking the tasty soup from scratch. We styled the food and filmed in our own studio space, then crafted the edit adding original 2D characters over the next few weeks in After Effects.
To help with the comprehension of cooking time in the 30sec TVC we created an animated graphic device that would overlay the soup cooking on stove top. We filmed in real time in multi-passes and added a clockwise device overhead. Like so many visual effects, it was definitely trickier to pull together than it appears.
While crafting the animated characters our inspired artists built amusing loopable six second social spots that would extend the reach of the campaign and engage audiences across Facebook, Instagram and other platforms.

Discovery Garden
This delightful campaign is for Woolworths ever popular Discovery Garden franchise. Our brief was to bring four illustrated insects off the pack and set them free in several idyllic garden locations shot by New Zealand based Director Melanie Bridge. Our animators modelled and rigged the characters using both 2D and 3D techniques then tracked them into each scene to lock them to the live-action camera.
RES provided detailed pre-production advice for the shoot which would include the clever addition of interactive layers for the hedge scene, giving the illusion that the bee actually sped through it and sent leaves flying in all directions. Crafting this special spot to perfection was a fun project for all the team.

Picked For Christmas
If Christmas is a time for a little magic, then perhaps this latest piece of CGI creature wizardry for the Woolworths Christmas campaign will make you want to believe. RES were invited to bid on creating a fully photo real Australian Mistletoe bird that would open this stunning TVC, and deliver freshly picked cherries to one of the farm hands in this filmic Christmas narrative.
Working tirelessly in Maya and Yeti, we crafted the superbly detailed CGI model with realistic feathers, providing a pre-viz for each shot as well as on-location VFX supervision to capture the scene lighting and camera data. We even sourced a taxidermied Mistletoe bird for the shoot day to capture the lighting effect on its luminous blue feathers!
Final composites came together in Nuke and Flame, allowing tweaks to the grade, and detailed integration of the bird into each scene, as well as many other sequences in this highly polished TVC. Take a look at 'The Making of' film below...

Wake Up to Sleep
Director Tim Dyroff and a dedicated crew shot for 12 days around Australia from Sydney’s CBD in wind-down to the rugged corners of Tasmania and Western Australia to capture these stunning landscapes by night. Nothing was more important than seizing these nocturnal moments…not even sleep!
Working closely with the amazing team at AJF Partnership Melbourne, Resolution was able to craft this stunning brand campaign under one roof for Forty Winks seamlessly blending cinematography with CGI installations and camera tracked star plates. We also took on all the print photography and cleanups to unify the visual assets and style.

Elevit: Core
This breath-taking piece of live-action, design and animation takes you into the world of an unborn child as it develops over nine months. Directed by Tim Dyroff, who subtly captures the miracle of life unfolding with warmth and a sense of discovery. This project was beautifully realised by our 3D team who used their finesse to create the life like skin textures, fluids and movements of a growing baby. It has been a special opportunity for us to collaborate with Bayer and JWT to take audiences into this unprecedented territory.

Whatever The Yes
Yes is a word we like, and when we spoke to M&C Saatchi about working with them on this piece for Optus, it was the first word that sprung to mind. M&C were seeking something fresh to kick-off the Yes TV by Fetch launch. We wanted to design illustrations and imagery that not only matched their branding, but stood out from the crowd. We had plenty of fun coming up with playful ways to incorporate dynamic animation inspired by the featured shows, with a world of entertainment.

Fear Less
It’s not often that we are asked to scare our audience. What a pleasure to delve into the darker emotion of FEAR utilising exploding, leaking, and contaminated typographic executions for Shift, Sydney. Fast-paced and beautifully lit, the menacingly abstract renditions are supported by closely mic’d sound effects courtesy of Noise International.

It’s a Long Story
The team worked tirelessly for a solid two months using a mix of live-action, stills photography, 2D & 3D animation, and just about every post trick up our collective sleeve. Bulleit was one of those projects that happen now and again that allow you total creative freedom to explore and create some amazing work. The team heavily invested in the project and were extremely passionate about pulling off something so ambitious.

The Art of Noise
Directed and animated by Dylan McIntyre, ‘The Art of Noise’ won one of only two silver Cannes Design Lions in 2013. With a VO and over 20 SFX to illustrate, we created a 90 second animation that would directly connect ‘what you hear’ with ‘what you see’. Through custom scripting, McIntyre developed a way to feed soundwaves through pictures. The audio is fed through the linework, distorting the line to reflect the bass or treble.

Ka-Ching! Pokie Nation
‘Ka-Ching! Pokie Nation’ is a very powerful documentary that screened on the ABC, that lifts the lid on the inner workings of the gaming industry. Working with Director Jane Manning from Looking Glass Pictures and the late Neil Lawrence, Resolution had the complex task of visualising some of the extraordinary statistics and science at play.

Your Finder
Around 20 holiday icons were created in 3D with a simple shaded look. The clean graphic set-up allowed the team to continually bounce between complex and simpler compositions, allowing the viewer to be both teased with the dazzling patterns, while also making sense of the objects unraveling before them. The camera travels forward at a measured pace representing both the idea of travel and ‘smooth sailing’ in the website experience.

Devil’s Cut
In 2013 this spot for Devil's Cut won one of only three Global Effies. Creating it involved two months of painstakingly detailed 3D design, texturing & animation, that grew in scope as the sophistication of the look for the barrel and hero droplet increased. Devising a wooden barrel that could convincingly twist, without feeling too rubbery was extremely complex, but a great challenge.

Bom Bom Bom
The three day shoot was shot in an eggshell studio to give a 360º environment providing endless depth. A huge 36 products are advertised across the campaign, each one a mini-commercial in itself. When a product would be difficult to shoot or animate to the beat, Resolution created it in 3D; allowing the freedom to view it from any angle and animate in ways impossible to shoot in camera.

Possibilities
Online, the most played RES commercial ever (so far), this entirely 3D TVC features a wide variety of juxtaposing but complementary typography, design and animation. The type is displayed within some complex 3D environments, and in contrast to that, the elemental fonts are employed against flat backdrops.

175 Years
This has been one of our largest shoots, spanning 9 locations over 6 days. To assist the live action shoot, we set up a 3D/2D suite on-set, so the director and agency could visualize in real time how the virtual environment and Arcade shoppers were working together; taking into account camera angle options, shop windows & doors so that everything came together seamlessly in post.

Overnights
This TVC for Photoplay's Lucinda Schreiber is a wonderfully composited and graded live-action spot with spectacular type treatments designed to bring a light-hearted feel to a less fun situation. Although completed with our usual array of technology we hand animated many of the fonts and designs so they felt old school and fun.

Baby
Saatchi & Saatchi teamed up with RES to capture the fun of childhood in this delightfully fresh and heart-warming campaign. Origami paper illustrations were animated in stop-motion style and combined with adorable live action babies to create a world of play and magic. Shot in a green-screen studio, RES wrangled 20 babies in a massive one-day shoot.

The Block: Sky High
One of a series of titles packages we have completed for The Block, and a real collaboration between 3D and 2D design to bring the paper city and apartment block to life. The show keeps rating its socks off and we're very proud to be involved with such a dynamic and popular franchise.

Beautiful Innovation
We worked with BWM to develop a script and treatment that would culminate in the reveal of an impressive floral creation. Director Dylan McIntyre got up close and personal with an array of stunning seasonal flora, resulting in some incredible views of flowers in bloom, rarely seen. Macro photography was used to create a sense of this hidden world, allowing the viewer to focus on the form, textures and colours of the intriguing imagery.

Pole Dancing Geisha
Showing our wilder side, RES was commisioned to design all of the classic tattoos and great characters that inhabit this TVC and bring them to life in a eye-popping spot for cinema release. We shot the talent in studio and then projected the animation onto a virtual 3D body to achieve the seamless journey and flow the energy drink brief required.

My Family
The story of an adventure told through a child’s eyes is brought to life through this beautiful animated piece. Characters from the My Family sticker series were created in 3D to take us on the journey, before settling in place on the back of their Kluger windscreen. The photo-real Kluger was built entirely in 3D in a CG studio environment.

Who Are You?
An oldie but a goodie. This spot was done at a time when everyone was referencing Gnarls Barkley's Crazy. Of course it's fine to reference things, but in the end you want to make something that feels original and true to the product - this is a fine example of that.

Country Stones: Lizard
Choosing to steer away from a fully animated approach for this spot, Director Tim Dyroff decided to film a real lizard, animating 3D facial movements in post. The VO is a real customer testimonial, and nuances of his facial movements and mannerisms were delicately blended into the animation.

Life Changes
Life changes. Could anything be truer? and what a fun brief to bring to the screen with a heightened sense of 3D photorealism. Harnessing an arsenal of visual effects from flash floods to jumping fish, terry towelling toys and self destructing briefcases. Feast your eyes on the things life throws at you in 30 quick seconds.

Very GC
Using a totally fresh approach to promoting Australia’s Gold Coast, RES was commissioned by M&C Saatchi to illustrate and animate a beautifully contemporary mood piece for print and motion to show the attractions of the region. We pulled a great team of animators together and a both traditional and computed aided technique was melded into one beautifully layered style.

The Only One
This great music video came out as part of the launch of the Australian movie, ‘Hey Hey It’s Esther Blueburger’ for singer Bertie Blackman. Apart from producing the shoot through RES for Director Greg Stern, we came up with another layer of imagined narrative that was tracked into the action, all made out of paper cutouts and chalkboard art.
