Description:
Gatorade “23 vs 39“ presented interesting challenges. The spot involves pres-ent-day Michael Jordan playing one-on-one against 1986 Michael Jordan. Thechallenge was to keep the performances fresh, creating the illusion that twoMJs are playing one-on-one. Our approach involved finding a body double who could do all of MJs moves. Using computer graphics, “intelligent skin“ technology,and image compositing, we convincingly replaced the body double’s head with a perfect version of Michael Jordan’s 1986 head in action in a variety of lighting scenarios.
