Dabitch — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 13:50:36 +0200

From Creative Director Vico Sharabani at rhinofx :
"This was a really fun project with an equally ambitious vision. We were challenged to recreate and enhance the novelty and excitement of an amusement park, with the warmth and emotion of a wholesome family environment, and only had a short time to do it. Our VFX work needed to add to the already rich, nostalgic, and emotive look and feel. Mehdi was able to create an amazing sense of shots as if they were through an old camera lens and our entire team worked to add to this sense through effects and intense color treatments."

Hanes - Charlie Sheen's Shorts / Valet - (2008) :30 (USA)

Dabitch — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:56:37 +0200

Valet once again mocks Sheen's attempts at a chummy friendship with fellow Hanes spokesperson, Michael Jordan. While trying to display his Hanes boxers, Sheen inadvertently backs into the Valet stand, making a less than stellar impression of himself. Nothing that the $825,000 paycheck for each episode of that hysterically unfunny show "Two and a Half men" he stars in can't soothe, I bet.

89 Editor Duncan Shepherd says: "Breast cancer is a serious subject, and as an editor, you work with the clay you're given. Mark's (Pellington) footage was in a different league as far as emotional energy was concerned. Call me a sadist, but I want to make people cry if it does some good. And you can't show "hope" in :30 unless you also show despair."
