Jon + Szymon - Work Samples
We've had the chance to work on some really fun spots in the last few years, both as directors as well as animation / vfx supervisors at our company HiFi 3D.
Here are a few spots, with some brief info. Thanks for taking a look!

Black Panther - Hasbro Spot
Our company HiFi 3D produced this spot, and we directed. It was a blast to shoot, and we got to work with some really talented kids. This was shot on a soundstage in New Jersey.
We handled everything including storyboards, a full 3d pre-vis, casting, shooting, editing, and VFX. Sound was done by Cakemix.

Thor - Dadnarok spot
This one had a great concept, and some funny dialogue, particularly for a toy spot. We shot this in a home in Long Island, including both the live action living room sequence and the fantasy sequences, which were shot on a pop-up blue screen on the premises.
Our company HiFi 3D produced this spot, and we directed. Jon designed and built the prop break-away walls himself.

Play Doh - 'An Inspirational Walk' :60 spot
This one had a very sweet script. The challenge was to find a 6 year old girl who could deliver a lot of dialogue naturally. We shot this on location in Park Slope over 2 days.

Iron Man Hero Vision
Here is a spot we recently completed for Hasbro's new Augmented Reality toy, Iron Man Hero Vision. This one was a challenge because we needed to shoot parts of the spot through the app itself, running on an iPhone. This required a lot of R+D, and we had to build a custom rig to make it work on the shoot.

Crunchkins
Here is a spot we directed for the launch of a candy called Crunchkins. This was shot on a stage in NYC.

We handled everything including a full 3d pre-vis, casting, shooting, editing, and VFX. Sound was handled by the agency.
Sony / Nike - PG2
This spot is fully CG (no live action). We created this announcement video for Nike's new PlayStation-themed sneaker.
This project was an insane rush. The entire spot was created in about 2.5 weeks. We needed to create the photo-real sneaker model from scratch based only on photos, and light/render 30 shots in about 6 days.
We created 160 seconds of CG sneaker footage at 60fps. Edit and motion graphics were handled by Sony's internal department.
VFX Reel
In addition to our directing and animation work, we do VFX work for commercials and TV. We usually act as VFX supervisors on these spots. Here is a montage with some fun shot breakdowns
