Smirnoff Black - Matrioska Invaders - SPEC
1 year ago
Director Kobayashi
koba-yashi.co.uk
My inspiration was to clash a popular russian symbol with Milan's famous locations.
I did a manga restyling to the classic matrioskas' look to make them original and cool.
All the dolls and the bottle are in 3D CGI, composited over real footage.
I've personally took care about all the production phases, thanks to my 360° skills.
From creativity to shooting, from 3D animation to editing and compositing.

I Really need to get learning this stuff!
do you have any links to a good Nuke 5, Houdini and Maya Tutorials or communities?
thanks mate!
Very well done!
It took me around 6 weeks from concept to final result.
But around 10 years to learn how to do it by myself :-)
My preferred community is Highend3d.com
You can also look for Gnomon school DVDs on various softwares and techniques, they are really great!
Keep in touch,
Kobayashi
Russia's mothers Milk!!! ;-)
....good details.........good lights......!!!
Some render took even 18 minutes per frame!!!
It's made in Maya, rendered with Mental ray.
The most difficult part was to create the light system... it's similar to a real pack shot in a black limbo.
I will soon post a behind the scene video.
Stay tuned!
Ok i have to work, see you in ten years.
Bye
You need to do a lot of experimentation and this really helps.
Now you can also find many tutorials for free on the web or go to a CG course.
Good luck ;-)
Your friend from VAS Mr. Mike
love it now more.
grazzi
fantabulous.
Also the great MIA paper planes track!
nice ^^ I'm interested in this kind of VFX but I have to learn a little bit about 3d modeling & animation, the integration isn't a problem, afterall I work in a VFX department here in Barcelona making some commercials & much more.
Keep in touch! I really enjoy my work, prolly you too.
Regards
It's just that sometimes you see movies and you think... Yeah, this guy is getting somewhere! We will be hearing from you a lot more i guess :)
I've done some defocusing work in post, also replaced most of the skies.
The grading was done in Shake.
I will soon post a "making of" video... stay tuned!
Great stuff - enjoyed that a lot - it actually made Milan look like a Nice Place... ;-) If I were an advertising exec I'd hire you. But I'm not. Ho-hum...
Thank you so much for your feedbacks!!!
Makes me want to go out and buy some Smirnoff :)

It's hard to learn 3D, takes a long time also... but I will wait to see your first test mixing it with riding :-) Get some tutorial to learn Maya, it takes time to do them but it's faster than learning by yourself (at least now). Look for tutorials on very specific task that you want to understand (animation, dynamics, modeling, etc...). All the Bests, Kobayashi
Thanks in advance!
This is fantastic honest and most humble ways to share the truth to promoth the product. I love it. It is wonderful sharing through your unique concept of your unique being. Even your deal was turned down, your creativity is not turned down and I can see so many friend's in this world can rely to your honesty. Hard work, great truth. What more can we ever ask then this in this world?
Much, much better then make believe. It is refreshing and promotor should put in to consideration and prote honest way of promoting.
Thank you once again and again my dear friend Kobayashi for your geart sharing. Inspiring!!!
Have a great inspirational day.
Yours truely emily eunjue hayes
