PHOTO POST PRODUCTION & CGI Jul 2009

Happy Finish has recently collaborated with award-winning photographer Benedict Redgrove on a project to recreate the TWA Flight Center, part of JFK International Airport in New York, entirely in CGI.

"The TWA is a striking example of Saarinen's futurist thin-shell structures. Our aim was to transform this iconic landmark back to the full glory of it's 1960's heyday," explains Happy Finish CGI artist, Matt Painter. "Most of these angles, especially exterior shots, are impossible to get from the building today, as it has been built up so much over the years. The terminal is now out of use and there is no public access. Through CGI we have created a photo-realistic environment that is true to the original setting. The TWA can now be used as a breathtaking and freely accessible shoot location that would otherwise have been lost."

Alongside cutting-edge CGI projects in photo-realistic environments, luxury advertising and art, Happy Finish works with award-winning photographers and ad agencies worldwide creating advertising images using retouching and CGI.
