The Hard Times of RJ Berger - VFX by Click 3X from Connor Swegle on Vimeo.

Growing up ain’t easy.  Especially in high school when the kool kids can be SO MEAN!  So when the head jock comes over and pants’ you in the middle of the quad as school lets out, that kind of thing can scar you forever- that is, unless you have such a majestic physical oddity that makes time slow down so that people can drink it in.  I mean, these are the things that mythology are made out of (read: the centaur- man from the waist up, horse from the waist down).

Unfortunately, such moments are not all captured naturally.  To bring out the full effect, we worked with the MTV directors Seyi Peter-Thomas and Barry Flanagan who shot the spot on Phantom, to create some visual effects such as sky replacements, final color tweaks, sparks, and smoke.  It was great to have them in here, and the show is going to be awesome.  Mark Szumski as creative director, continues his working relationship with MTV helping on both the front and back-end of these high-end promotions.
