ICECREAM U.S SPRING 2022, Ad, Billionaire Boys Club
Advertisement for 2022 Spring/Summer collection from BBC’s skate brand Ice Cream.
BBC wanted to make a playful commercial in which models and skaters appeared as sticker-like objects on a white background. The footage I recieved was all shot on green screen. I used After Effects to key out the models and arranged them in fun ways, editing the the beat of the classic Pharrell song. I also treated the graphics with a custom CRT technique I’ve been developing.
