The Mill teamed up with director Max Malkin from Prettybird, along with 72andSunny for the latest Adidas spot ‘One in a Billion’. Watch this fast-paced, energetic film, featuring world-renowned soccer player David Beckham.
The Mill 2D team led by Ilia Mokhtareizadeh worked on numerous invisible effects, clean-up, backgrounds and environments for this film. Due to limited time with David Beckham, the trickiest part of the spot was re-lighting his 2 shots.
The team smooth out the shots with various 2D trickery, giving the soccer star a bold simplicity that allows him to stand out from the live action footage.
