Our first TVC done in Corona - Dr.Max

[loocas]

I'd like to show you our first TV commercial done entirely in Corona.

This is exactly the type of a TVC that Corona is so good for. The pack-shots were super simle, super fast to render and comp.
The first opening shot was a bit of a problem, mainly due to noise. Corona took about 3 hours per frame for the first shot and I still had to de-noise the interior in Nuke afterwards.
Other than that, full motion blur and DOF done in-camera for the packshots. But DOF and MBlur done in post in the first shot for flexibility reasons.
Rendering everything in a few passes for more tweaking possibilities.

But, Corona is certainly usable for this type of stuff. The ad is currently on air in the Czech Republic.

Congrats, Keymaster! ;)

How did you manage to avoid  flickering? PT+hd cach with high samples ? can you share please your config

Ha! Very nice. 3h is quite a lot, no?

It is extremely long. And even after that, the interior was still noisy as fuck. :( So I had to de-noise it in Nuke and re-comp the interior back over the original.

Love it !

Nothing fancy about the config. :) But I did lobby Keymaster into implementing the temporal blending of the HD Cache. I pre-calced a single frame at very high settings and had that cache be blended during animation. Flicker free. :)

The noise was a different question, though.

I'm currently working on three other TVCs with Corona. One of them even more challenging than this one coz it'll have to be photo-real and perfect. Will share when done.
