Description:


    In “You,” the camera zooms through the streets. 3D panels represent different vivid images and perceptions of an image that individuals may capture with digital cameras.

    Method worked in close collaboration with Francois Vogel of Tool While the spot was being shot in Barcelona. Francois Vogel has an extensive design background and worked very closely with Method’sAndrew Eksner, visual effects artist, to come up with the general layout of each vignette. Upon arriving at the desired look, Method’sCedric Nicolas took each vignette into a more 3D realm by lighting each panel separately. to give it more depth and distinguish it from the overall framing.
