Let’s build it BIG! The ever-ambitious folks at Duffy & Shanley agency approached us with a historic concept for East Boston Savings Bank — recreate 1930′s era construction scenes with a stylized vintage treatment. The team at Cardboard Castle developed the visual narrative, constructed animatics and directed the live-action production.

We meticulously recreated era-appropriate CG environments in C4D using Vray and then tracked, keyed and composited our live action workers into the scene. Compositing was performed in Nuke with some final vintage touches applied in After Effects.
