This was probably one of the larger projects our studio has taken on to date - with a fully CG cityscape sequence filled with alien swarms, explosions, crashing helicopters and collapsing buildings.
Shadows from the 'swarm' had to be added to many live action shots also, making this a huge amount of work for us to achieve in a few weeks.
The spot premiered on UK channel 4 on Sunday the 18th March.
