Mathematic and UFO were heavily involved in the Art Direction and Post Production behind the video for the James Bond soundtrack 'Another Way To Die'. The live action, which was directed by Anonymous Content's PR Brown, was shot in LA while the the Post and Art Direction was carried out in Paris with The Holograms through UFO and The Ebeling Group in New York. The project was carried out under the guidance of creative company MK12 that headed the Quantum Solace's creative graphic package.
While the Mathematic team supervised on the Shoot in the US, The Holograms and the team based in Paris worked on the matte painting and other graphic elements featured in the film. Post at Mathematic included compositing, grading, animation and finalisation of the film in Flame. Animation and transitions where created using After FX and CG while the backgrounds where specially designed and created with our in-house with matte painters.
