JCPenney
Zombies
Well versed in grabbing the attention of the young, director Dougal Wilson of Furlined worked closely with The Mill New York to create these two JCPenney spots intended to screen like movie trailers. Westley Sarokin, Gavin Wellsman and Aron Hjartarson, visual effects supervisors at The Mill, built a strong rapport with Dougal and the Saatchi team.

After the Toronto shoot, London-based Dougal flew to New York to complete the project throughout post-production. Westley enthused, "Along with the highly collaborative effort from everyone at The Mill, it was a real treat to have Dougal involved."
Westley, together with Flame artist Richard DeCarteret, led the post work on 'Zombies' which had been shot on a hand-held camera. Since most shots included an effect, the 2D team helped with the complex rig and puppeteer removal. Note the classic zombie film elements evident in the colour palette, music, and frenetic camera movement. The Mill 3D team obviously enjoyed creating CG zombies for the crowd simulation.
