Commercial shot with A1

Pretty cool. Looks a bit over-sharpened in certain shots, but overall quite nice. What software did you use for the crazy tubes?

Thanks Ian! The tubes were created in 3dsMax and composited in After Effects. I stuck some stock footage together in AE of fire broiling and flames leaping and created a movie with it all moving left to right, then used that movie on the opacity and illumination maps in the tubes texture to make it look like the tubes were moving, so I could just create static tubes and bend them round as I needed.

I know it's oversharp - clients are generally useless at seeing the benefits of HD, so I was asked to shapen it to make it obvious. I know!!

Very impressive website by the way - brilliant photography.
 
That looked very good, not like video not like film...
The overall production was very pro, good work!
One thing: the key with the tree branches wasn´t perfect, but you probably keyed the sky so it was good enough;o)

Thanks Spartacus! Annoying that keying - it looked perfect before I sharpened the whole thing for the final render, then that seemed to screw it up - the fizzy look is just the sharpening. And I'm only sharpening it because clients can't tell it's HD unless it's pixel-poppingly over-sharp!
 
Finally worked. Loved how you worked your name into the clip.

Nice job. Very professional.
