COLRUYT GROUP - STAP VOOR STAP
We had a nice collaboration with director Alexander to create old 8mm effects.
Thanks to our in-house knowhow of Telecine we could mimic the film grain and specific look of an old 8mm effect.
Because of the lockdown we did the final steps remotely.
Remote work for our artists and realtime screenings are not new to us and came in handy.

We had a nice collaboration with director Jeroen Mol and production house Ristretto Films.
To give the viewer the feeling that everything is possible we extended the sets in post. To make this work we did vfx supervision on set.
We had a lot of fun with this commercial of Niko Caignie. The nice slow motion shots and the reverse editing in combination with the music and voice over of Vic De Wachter brings a smile on our face. Hope you will enjoy it.

UNITE42
While having to raise his three children on his own, Inspector Sam Leroy joins Brussels' Cyber Crime Unit. Confronted with new codes, he must collaborate with Billie Vebber, a former hacker who covertly pursues objectives of her own. For behind each case of cyber criminality, first and foremost, lies a human story to be told.
A series directed by Indra Sierra (4 episodes), Roel Mondelears (3 episodes) and Hendrik Moonen (3 episodes). The series was shot by Sander Vandenbroucke.
PIXMIX studios handled the entire postproduction for this series. Editors on the job were Marc de Coster, Phillipe Ravoet and Steven Sanders. All UI design and animation was done inhouse. With over a 1000 vfx shots included we managed to set up a tight vfx pipeline that gave us the ability to be flexible during postproduction and even after grading. A must for this series.

GAIA - 25 YEARS
Together with Flexus and director Guy Goossens we created a emotional story of young boy that grows up on a farm together with his friend: a goose. This was all to celebrate the 25th anniversary of animal activists GAIA.
As not all shots with the goose were possible to shoot we created two full cgi gooses to fill in the scenes that were impossible to shoot. A comprehensive work but we managed to get the job done. Make sure you check out our vfx breakdown.

In five thematic films of 52 minutes dozens of Belgian top photographers are portrayed in turn, each with their personal story, their motives and emotions. From Paul Van den Abeele and Odette Dereze, over Herman Selleslags and Herman Van den Boom to Carl De Keyzer and Stephan Vanfleteren.
It deals successively with photography of current affairs (press photography), documentary photography, photography of the Belgian in his spare time, photography of the soul of our country (the 'Belgitude') and conceptual photography (which conceives ideas in images). A panoramic image of Belgian photography since 1945.

Music video for 'Lowlands', a song by Belgian band 'Roscoe'.
A strange and harsh coming-of-age story, in which a son falls victim to his father's wish of earning big money with illegal street-fights. The boy becomes a victorious fighter, until faith strikes upon him.
This story, set against the atmospherical backdrop of Bucharest's suburbs, talks about the expectations a father puts into his son.
Best music video Jury prize, Clip That Beat festival 2012.
