[zerone] cgi once again pushed the limits of visual effects with its recent campaigns:
- In close collaboration with photographer Mats Cordt, the company created a range of visuals for clothing and footwear manufacturer Sympatex Technologies. Although sweat was the subject and the athletes featured in the campaign were pushed to their limits, the team at [zerone] apparently "never reached the point of exhaustion." The liquid elements were completely done using CGI and later composited alongside live action photography.
- The company worked with photographer Tom Grammerstorf on the brochure for the new Volkswagen Scirocco. CGI technology was used for all but one of the exterior location shots of the car. The photographer adopted parts of [zerone] cgi's workflow for the shoot, previsualising the car on location as if physically there. The team were able to use the data to speed up production of the final images, helping the agency to get a proper impression of the final results and saving both time and money.

[zerone] cgi is renowned for superb car visualisation, but the Hamburg-based company always pushes the envelope to use cgi technology in other areas of print advertising.
The company recently completed a complex task for Bucherer jewellers. Four images were created showing thousands of magpies outside the company's stores in a selection of cities. The magpies, along with whole sections of the shops, were generated using computer graphics. [zerone] also handled a print campaign for Ford using cgi technology for the creation of background architecture. Both jobs were done in cooperation with Jan Steinhilber.
The German print campaign for the Citroën C5 also made use of the computer to entirely produce the car and background architecture. Photographer Markus Wendler shot the images and took care of lighting the car and the environment, as well as the location design itself.

German agency Grabarz und Partner used New York as the location for its catalogue shots for the new SUV from Volkswagen, the Tiguan. However, the car was still top-secret during production, so cgi technology was used to produce all the location shots.

[zerone] cgi was also involved with the Tiguan 'Bergbahn' billboard, together with photographer Martijn Oort. The idea was to present the car off-road in the mountains, and again this was achieved using cgi. -

[zerone] cgi and photographer Markus Wendler have worked on an assortment of cgi-projects over the past year. Two major assignments were for car manufacturers Mercedes-Benz and Saab.
A particularly complex shot was completed for the Mercedes-Benz Viano campaign. Taken at the 'Cranger Kirmes' and the 'Hamburger Dom', two famous German fairs, cgi was used to insert images of the vehicle into otherwise impossible environments. For another Mercedes-Benz campaign, one car was shot on location in the traditional sense while a second was later added to the picture using cgi technology.
For Saab, the vehicles where shot on location but the final images were embellished with computer-generated props.
[zerone] cgi also created portfolio work for Markus Wendler. -
