Beaver Falls
Shot on location in Cape Town, our lucky Lead Flame Artist Pete Rypstra had the chance to supervise the shoot, taking in the sights of his native homeland while there. The first day was torrential rain, but things cleared up and as you can see from the spot, the remaining two days proved as idyllic as everyone had hoped.
The bus stop set was built on the location, with a rain machine on hand to get as much in camera as possible.

But that is where the shot material ended. All additional rain, the houses, the road and road markings and most impressively the additional rain was entirely created in CG.
Luke Colson, Head of Mill Studio, who produced the VFX on the spot, said: "What makes this Promo even more impressive was the multiple frame rate comps on the opening shots where we see the boys looking out across Beaver Falls from the Bus Stop. These shots were shot in 2 passes, once at 50 fps (frames per second) and once at 25 fps. When the 2 passes were composited together we get a great effect with 'London' looking particularly British and rainy, and 'Beaver Falls' looking beautiful, sunny and best of all in slow motion!"
