Studio Local has just completed a family of ads for JWT Vietnam for LIF milk. We shot the plates up Mt Eden Volcano, Waiheki Island and a farm shed outside Waipu Cove then art-worked the footage to appear like the Vietnam highlands. The result is very photographic for CGI but also huge fun with a small robot army , lasers and big explosions.

Each Villain has their own 30 sec ad - this one is called Mr Dust. Please excuse the lipsync as the ADR was recorded after we delivered the ad we didn't have any VO to work with !
