VFX needed for national spot. Los Angeles.

We are producing a 30 second commercial for "Big Red" that will get national exposure and need some VFX. Although the spot is for a large company and will have great exposure, the budget is extremely tight.

We have 6 effects shots:

1. Window replacement with cityscape
2. Soda splash on wall that magically transforms into Big Red logo
3. Glowing tub of Big Red soda, light shoots up into the air
4. Red searchlights over cityscape
5. Logo high up on wall, casting light down on party goers (not necessarily directly behind them)
6. Red streak from the back of hero’s bike

Link to storyboards: http://www.512-media.com/BigRedStoryboards.pdf

Please look over the storyboards/shot list and be sure you can do the work with-in the budget before responding. Also, we’d prefer you were in the Los Angeles area.

If you want to get a great piece for your reel, make some money and work on a fun project send your reel ASAP. If it looks like a good fit, we will get in touch to discuss the project in more detail.
