Finding “the thing”

Max and Mat strive to find everything a client needs, even if they can’t quite describe it! Thing? Thingy?? The stuffs??? Their latest aventure shows us some new, full 3D sections behind the aisles looking for… something! 

Live Action Adventures

We were lucky to have Nuno Markl – a portuguese public figure, comedian, radio/tv host and overall great guy – as a customer without a single DIY skill who sets the action in motion.

Producing and Directing a complete crew on a live shooting is always something we love to do. It allows us to get involved from the early beggining, creatively and technically. Every detail counts, every camera move, every frame and second, every take! In addition, we also try our best to improve live action sets, being staged or real hardware stores like this one.

Our Art and Lighting department did a superb job in turning Maxmat’s store look as beautiful and stylish while enhancing the brand’s identity. The darker environment really popped out the brand’s red color, while also focusing more on the actor’s performances.

3D Production 

Our team extended the Maxmat animated 3d world we’ve been creating in other of the brand ads.

We created additional complete 3d environments such as the factory’s central area – the place we arrive right after the transition from the real world; the brush/paint lineup and the electrical devices section.

Numerous assets were modeled and animated such as the circuit breakers – the “thing” the customer was looking for, and the pixaresque “luxo” lamp. Important assets that help tell the story.
