Wimbledon promo

Post Prime Focus

Client Red Bee/BBC

Brief Complete the post for the BBC’s Red Bee-created multiplatform Wimbledon promotion, which focuses on the hard-work, passion and sweat behind the oldest tennis tournament in the world.

How it was done Autodesk Smoke was used for the rotoscope work, which was completed by Ben McIlveen in preparation for the effects, which were enhanced in Flame by Emily Irvine.

This was then combined with colourist Vic Parker’s Baselight grade. Parker intensifi ed the stock footage, bringing each personality into the foreground.

The competitive drama was reinforced through the visuals using draganisation, a highdynamic- range technique used to draw out the detail in the strained faces of the players.

After Effects work was completed by Jason Guest.
