In the months leading up to the main event, hundreds of athletes compete for a few coveted positions on the US Olympic Track & Field Team. Our friends at Nike asked us to be a part of their Nike Event Center at the Track and Field Trials in Eugene Oregon. We partnered with big-giant to complete the retouching and compositing of photographed track and field athletes. These photo mosaics were the main component of the event and were showcased on a 310 foot wall at the event center. <img src="http://payload72.cargocollective.com/1/4/159358/3750435/FindYourGreatness_Brochure_860.jpeg" width="860" height="548" width_o="960" height_o="612" src_o="http://payload72.cargocollective.com/1/4/159358/3750435/FindYourGreatness_Brochure_o.jpeg" data-mid="19818342" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload72.cargocollective.com/1/4/159358/3750435/531190_10150913185026915_1878333220_n_860.jpeg" width="860" height="559" width_o="960" height_o="624" src_o="http://payload72.cargocollective.com/1/4/159358/3750435/531190_10150913185026915_1878333220_n_o.jpeg" data-mid="19818478" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload72.cargocollective.com/1/4/159358/3750435/548357_10150913184941915_31925289_n_860.jpeg" width="860" height="496" width_o="960" height_o="554" src_o="http://payload72.cargocollective.com/1/4/159358/3750435/548357_10150913184941915_31925289_n_o.jpeg" data-mid="19818479" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload72.cargocollective.com/1/4/159358/3750435/582153_10150913184746915_1757018831_n_860.jpeg" width="860" height="573" width_o="960" height_o="640" src_o="http://payload72.cargocollective.com/1/4/159358/3750435/582153_10150913184746915_1757018831_n_o.jpeg" data-mid="19818481" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload72.cargocollective.com/1/4/159358/3750435/251976_10150913184806915_434942780_n_860.jpeg" width="860" height="408" width_o="960" height_o="456" src_o="http://payload72.cargocollective.com/1/4/159358/3750435/251976_10150913184806915_434942780_n_o.jpeg" data-mid="19818486" border="0" align="left"/> Client: Nike Agency: big-giant Creative Director: Dan Zimmerman Design Director: Kimberly Brandt Teaming up for the Summer Olympics in London The London Summer Olympics draws viewers from all over the globe.

What is this? Want to impress someone at a cocktail party? Here’s the spiel. Our library is a collection of location photography packages created using HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imaging), a technology that digitally captures and allows you to edit all the light and reflections in a scene. Paired with each high-resolution background image is all the scene-specific lighting data required to seamlessly place a rendered product into a real environment. This technology is used most often (though not exclusively) by the automotive industry to apply realistic lighting and reflections to a virtually rendered car in a photographic environment. Why do you need this? You need to get a shot of your product with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background, with a nice blue sky and puffy white clouds, by next Thursday but the product won’t be available for two weeks and the budget just got reduced again. Sound familiar? If you’ve been tasked with sourcing the creative, you want high quality options. And, you need confidence that what you get is going to work; it’s going to meet your deadlines and fit your budget. When you select one of our location packages you can let go of the logistics of organizing a photo shoot and move past the schedule constraints of season or weather. You don’t need to worry that the product is still a prototype. And, you gain the flexibility to feature whatever aspects of the product you want in whatever way you choose. Along with exceptional location photography we’ve captured all the lighting and reflection information, so you can be confident that your rendered object is going to fit seamlessly in the scene. Every reflection, each secondary shadow is perfectly placed. The final package will be a spectacular, beautifully composed and lit image of your product in an utterly believable real world setting. <img src="http://payload72.cargocollective.com/1/4/159358/3750456/24736_Livermore_AudiQ5.jpeg" width="420" height="306" width_o="420" height_o="306" src_o="http://payload72.cargocollective.com/1/4/159358/3750456/24736_Livermore_AudiQ5_o.jpeg" data-mid="19536230" border="0" align="left"/> Rendering the Audi Q5 into the rolling hills of Livermore Valley.<img src="http://payload72.cargocollective.com/1/4/159358/3750456/24735_DodgeRam_R1.jpeg" width="420" height="147" width_o="420" height_o="147" src_o="http://payload72.cargocollective.com/1/4/159358/3750456/24735_DodgeRam_R1_o.jpeg" data-mid="19536226" border="0" align="left"/> Why use XYZ?

With the Product Development Team we made sure that our 3D images were product correct and that we had a complete understanding of how the fuel band worked and should look. After our FuelBand 101 was completed we teamed up with Nike on the creative approach to how the FuelBand would be shown. We created over 25 iterations for concept, placement, color, look and feel and presented those to the creative team. Once they picked a direction we fine-tuned the details on the band (this is the fun part) and the background color. After our tweaks the Global Creative Director gave us his stamp of approval.In the end we provided Nike with the 360-degree assets that they used across all their chosen mediums around the world for the FuelBand global launch. We also took the initiative to animate the 3D band and created a piece that highlights the functionality, style, innovation and just the pure coolness of the Nike FuelBand. It was truly an amazing project and an amazing experience to work with the FuelBand team at Nike and to help them not only execute their vision for this amazing product but to also be a part of something so successful for Nike.
