Santander
Bridge
We are really pleased to be collaborating again with WCRS and working Independent director Philippe Andre on the next instalment of the Santander campaign entitled ‘Bridge'. The spot features F1 Champion Lewis Hamilton but this time on a construction site for a very special bridge.
Our bridge is made out of larger than life, bright red children's building blocks.

In fact, everywhere you look, truck loads are being delivered whilst cranes are lifting and moving the huge red bricks in to position, with pillars of red bricks surrounded by scaffolding as the bridge is constructed.
Aidan Gibbons who led our 3D team tells us, "For us, one of the most exciting and challenging aspects of the job was the design and building of the bridge itself. We worked very closely alongside our matte painter, Dave Gibbons, director Philippe and the agency creatives Simon and Jo, to create something that was modern, but that was also immediately recognizable from any angle as a large structure made of red building blocks."
Pete Rypstra our lead Flame recounts, "Philippe was fantastic to work with on the shoot and used as many of his art department's real red building blocks as he could, which gave us a great reference and helped create the realistic feel of the bridge when mixed with the CG."
