buenos aires Oct 2008

Red Creek recently finished production of Fox Italy's "Horror" spot, directed by Gabriel Sagel. The production involved a blend of live action, animation and special effects, as the script called for "blood raining over a bus full of monsters."

Asked about this latest of jobs for Fox, Gabriel said: "It's always a pleasure working for the Fox Italy guys; we not only have fun and get along great, but their ideas are always inspiring and are very open-minded about the whole process. I look forward to shooting many more spots for them."

Red Creek also produced the latest video for Sony BMG artist Wyclef Jean, in the hoods and Tango joints of Buenos Aires. The surreal shoot took place over two days and counted on the collaboration of local police for some complicated camera-car shots. Boat chases, cars, bikes, martial arts and pyrotechnics were all involved in what evolved into a near-Bollywoodian story.
