The Progressive Pigeons 'Smartwatch'
My contribution
I joined the Nexus Studios team as a Nuke compositor on the fully CG shots. Most of the work was rebuilding the comp script shot by shot and matching colour across the sequence, so that shots assembled separately hold together as one piece.
About the project
Nexus director Conor Finnegan created a series of TV and social spots for Progressive Insurance, following two pigeon pals on a journey through savings.
