Glassworks has just completed 'Pilot', the latest commercial for beer giant Stella Artois. Maintaining the high standard that previous spots in the campaign have established, Director Ivan Zacharias has created an epic tale of WW1 fighter pilots competing for air superiority over war torn France. Extensive research helped our 3D department model and animate English Camels and German Fokkers engaging in dogfights and ultimately near fatal crashes.

Glassworks R&D department also got involved by further developing proprietary smoke software - enhancing the authenticity of shot down planes.The compositing of extensive blue screen shots and the seamless integration of 3D elements into live-action footage were accomplished by a team of compositors, lead by Glassworks Head of 2D, Ludo Fealy.
