Set Visions would like to wish you all an extremely Merry Christmas
and cheers to a fantastic New Year. We couldn’t resist using Huey, our studio
mascot, as the face of this year’s Christmas card in his very own CGI snow
globe.
We are hugely excited for 2017. The next instalment of our
Interior Trend Video Blog will kick us off in January, followed by the launch last
of our Set Visions websites, completing our rebrand.
Our offices will be closing on Friday 23rd of
December with the full team returning on Tuesday 3rd of January 2017. To keep
update with all the news and goings on at HQ simply add your details to our mailing list. We’re now off to embrace the Hygge lifestyle- Although,
we must remember; if we make CGI mince pies, we can’t eat them!

Here is a real-life horror story, team Set Vision’s
transformation is eerily…normal. This terror of tails was created by our very
own retouching department who took true delight in transforming our MDs! Quite
a side step of their daily tasks of retouching our lifestyle photography and
bespoke CGI designs. This family of true terrors wish you all a screamin’
Halloweeeeeeen!

A recent technical
challenge was set to our CG department…Can we demonstrate the feasibility of
showcasing a frozen ice lolly product in a variety of images? Traditional
photography methods would have meant placing the frozen lolly in direct
lighting for extended periods leaving a frustratingly narrow window for
capturing the shot before the product had to be replaced.
The idea of using
Pix CGI meant our unparalleled photorealism would allow the client to show the
construction and quality of the product whilst keeping the image looking
refreshing and appetising. The ability to deconstruct and re construct
the product could simply not be done without the use of CGI.

After a delicious study of the behaviour of the ice
lolly…the surface, reflection, lighting reaction we recreate the materials in
layers, addressing each physical aspect of the reference based on direct
observation. We digitally sculpted the finished result with the lighting and
art direction integral to the feel of a shot, allowing us to create a striking
editorial image. The beauty of CGI is allowing us push and develop aesthetics
for a strong campaign.

Welcome to our first Trend VLOG! Our lovely Head Photographic Stylist
Nina chats through all things green, which is one of the big colour
contenders over the last few seasons, from vibrant flashes to deep and
moody hues.
Over the past year greens have been interpreted through the Botanical
and Tropical Jungle trends, which have strongly rooted their way across
interior and homeware design, fusing from contemporary to classic
styling.

These contemporary CGI visuals are based on a high end gloss
cashmere kitchen door for a national kitchen supplier. Concealed strip lighting is a modern architectural feature, with quirky open ended storage in the island. Mood lighting is
key to the atmosphere, with designer glass pendants adding a soft intimate lifestyle
feel.

The following cameo shots successfully show the features and
benefits within the range, up-selling to the consumer. Our in-house Art Direction and commercial understanding
of client’s products is key to producing these groups of shots with set design,
interior trends and CG camera all contributing to the success.
