New work for richardbranson 🚀
Director karenxcheng 🎬 VFX rubenfro 🦾

So the original client brief was to make something for virginvoyages new Terminal V.  I wanted to recreate my Jan 7 post, except go further with it. My idea was to have Richard Branson punch, transition to a 3D scan of the interior of the building, then to the exterior of the building.

So we got the scans - I scanned richardbranson, Bojan polycam3d scanned the building interior, and wefly did the drone capture of the building exterior 

But as I was on the plane flying back from the shoot, sitting in the window seat and glancing out the window… it occurred to me

Why stop there?
Let’s take it higher...
up to Virgin Atlantic ✈️

But why stop there??
Let’s keep going...
to VIRGIN GALACTIC 🚀

I was excited about the idea, but unsure because I knew it would not be easy to execute…

I crossed my fingers and DM’d rubenfro and asked him if he could pull it off. And daaaaamn. The level he took it to 🤯

Go follow rubenfro and check out his work. He’s this mad scientist who specializes in real-time VFX (he even built his own software to generate these graphics *real time* how absolutely mindblowing is that??) 

His level of artistry and craftsmanship is astonishing. I have met so many incredibly talented people through Instagram and it has been an absolute privilege for me to get to work with such talent. 

Thank you to virginvoyages - hrrockwell and elayanemliss for believing in our team and letting us run wild with our ideas
