Tooheys Extra Dry: Nocturnal Migration

Nocturnal Migration – a new awesome Tooheys Extra Dry TV ad. In “Nocturnal Migration”, a Tooheys Extra Dry spot for agency BMF Sydney, director Garth Davis of Exit Films called on Alt.vfx to help create a gathering of city-dwelling deer having a night on the town.

Another challenge for compositing came in the form of a shot of the deer walking through a park. This was originally filmed in an Auckland suburb, but Alt.vfx replaced the original background with images of an apartment tower and trees sourced online. “They really wanted to get a bigger feel,” says Renshaw. “We pulled that shot apart, roto’d the deer completely, and re-built the background in Nuke using projections with a few iterations and then added flaring and haze.”
