Title: FOXY BINGO - FIRST DATES IDENTS
Production Company: ENTAIN
Director: TOM CLARKSON
This ident series for Foxy Bingo plays out in a romantic restaurant setting, with Foxy as a cheeky matchmaker. Shot at Garden Studios and directed by Tom Clarkson, I handled the production design across both the real-world build and the virtual environment. Good example of using custom made set elements - such as semi-opaque partitions - to help blend the physical with the virtual: these elements were then repeated in the virtual environment to ensure visual consistency throughout.
One of several projects in our LED VOLUME collection. See also our whimsical, playful builds for Foxy Games and BTS.
