Hasta La Motion!

Amsterdam agency Etcetera turned to PostPanic director Mischa Rozema to take on the challenge of their hugely ambitious Human Network script. Central to the integrated global campaign for TNT, is a stunning 50 second television spot highlighting the delivery giant’s far-reaching network of dedicated couriers. With an accompanying tvc cutdown of 30 seconds, personalised video for TNT’s existing clientbase and several key print visuals, PostPanic took on producing the main bulk of the integrated campaign followed by localising to 32 countries. The hugely ambitious script appealed to director Rozema’s taste for taking on the epic, “There was just no way to turn a script like that down,” says Rozema “Even though it had ‘IMPOSSIBLE’ written all over it. The complexity, the size, the craziness. Maybe that’s what really pulled me in to this. I just loved stepping into the unknown and finding out how we could make this work.” For Rozema, the biggest challenge was how to avoid the vfx becoming the focus of the tvc. “PostPanic is set up differently then most production companies because we have our own in-house post production team which works instinctively with the directors. The temptation would have been to apply all that specialised knowledge and make this into a vfx fest but actually we threw out a lot of vfx when we started the project. We stepped into this trying to create as much ‘in camera’ as we could.” This meant the production company had to set up major shoots in 5 locations across Europe ranging from live action drone-powered aerial mountain road scenes to complicated motion-capture acrobatic performances. Rozema, “We decided to really push what could be achieved in camera by actually creating a full size human truck on the set. It worked by having a huge, truck-sized, metal rig that could be pulled by an actual truck. We then filled it with an incredible Czech stunt team (famous for big Hollywood blockbusters) that had been rehearsing for weeks and gave the whole project a realistic approach. To be honest in the end, we used more VFX in the backgrounds (creating a non-existing airport, alpine road-tunnels and cities) than on the actual vehicles where you’d expect them.” Credits TNT “THE PEOPLE NETWORK”: Agency: Etcetera Concept : Peter van Leeuwen, Markus Ravenhorst Art Director : Peter van Leeuwen Copywriter : Markus Ravenhorst TV-producer agency : Robert Roosenstein Date shoot : July 2014 Locations/Studios : Prague, Austria, Belgium & Amsterdam Film / Video-Material : digital (Epic Red Dragon) Production Company : PostPanic Director : Mischa Rozema Executive Producer : Jules Tervoort, Annejes van Liempd Producer (Liege) : Liene Berina Production Assistant : Kristian Stoykov Post Production: PostPanic Head of PostProduction : Ivor Goldberg Supervisor on set : Chris Staves, Matthijs Joor Line Production Company : Savage, Prague Executive Producer : Klara Kralickova Line Producer : Vojta Ruzicka Art Direction : David Baxa Stunt Team : Filmka stunt team, Czech Republic Stunt Coordinator : Jiri First Making of : Jan Svejkar D.O.P. : Jon Gaute Espevold Grading : Scott Harris @ Glassworks Off-line edit : PostPanic Editor off-line : Benjamin Putland On-line edit : PostPanic Music composition & Sound Design: Pivot Audio / Guy Amitai Sound Mix: Lawrence Horne Stills Photographer : Jiri Svorc Image manipulator : Nick Strong Cast Marek Zelinka : TNT driver, Daan Daams : wink guy, Sabina Feldmanova : customer woman, Petr Kocourek : truck driver, Mikulas Matous : Kid 1, Matej Splichal : Kid 2 Post Production team PostPanic VFX Supervisor : Ivor Goldberg, Chris Staves Assistant Post Producer : Liene Berina 3D & VFX Artists : Matthijs Joor, Jeroen Aerts, Chris Staves, Marti Pujol, Dimos Hadjisavvas, Juri Agostinelli, Dieuwer Feldbrugge, Guido Ekker (intern), Francois Heysen (intern) 2D/3D Artists : Doma Harkai, Erwin vd IJssel, Stefano Paron, Donat Aron Ertsey, Hubert Heutinck (intern) Matte Painting : Marco Iozzi, Marti Pujol Tracking & Match Moving : Giso Spijkerman Additional Post Production: Additional VFX support : Andrea Staiano, Thiago Porto, Dennis Volkerts, Glassworks Rotoscoping : Dot VFX, Roto Art Studios Motion Capture : Stepan Kment, Bohemia Interactive a.s.

One year ago some of us from Techno Image went to an event called “Trojan Horse was a Unicorn”. We didn’t know it at the time but we were immersed in of the best events in the CGI market and arts in the world, focusing much more on the artist, than in the market or technology.
 We were profoundly changed by those 4 intense days and it was with great happiness we started working on this film, which is the official spot for the 2014 edition of the event. Enjoy!

And the people bowed the head and worshipped. 28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. 30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. LYRICS by David King, aka Duke of Uke: DEATH: Falling stars you wished upon are cinders now and now they’re gone their residue festoons my fetid field. Unfeeling husks of lovers past the shells are all that ever last I’ve taken everything that they concealed. Whoever told you life was fair? Look around you, everywhere the cruelty of nature is displayed! Why the scorn? Why the surprise? Everything that’s born must die and it isn’t I who made the world that way. What wicked little twist of fate placed you her upon my plate Here, where no one hears your cries? Where was your god to steer you through Perhaps your god’s forsaken you Otherwise why lead you here to die? BA (spirit of the dead): I, I know the way how I’ll melt away now I know the way. I’m feeling bliss now Dissolved to mist how strangely I go away Now I finally know DEATH: It’s merely moments now, moments now until your feeble flesh bends to my will and it will so rest your weary head. There’ll be no pain, no pain at all as everything you are dissolves Your fate resolved upon my silky thread. BA: I, I know the way how I’ll melt away now I know the way. I’m feeling bliss now Dissolved to mist how strangely I go away Now I finally know (repeat)

“Don’t confuse me with being anything else other than proud. Proud to be a hunter. It’s time we stop apologizing for how we get our protein. This is who we are. Unless you’re a small time rancher, small time farmer, a hunter or fishermen… you really have no idea where your food comes from. Most people don’t even think about it. Well, we think about it. ” – Donnie Vincent. If you’re like me and hunting is part of who you are, share this video and hopefully we can get some people thinking differently about how they acquire their food and maybe, just maybe… we’ll change their opinion about hunting.
