A Fresh Look

LOGO

We’ve had a bit of an over haul. Look wise anyway. With the help of Spinach Design, a great friendly little design agency around the corner from us have given us a brand spanking new logo.

Based around the O of ‘Operators’, the new logo is a watermark crossed between the fragmented and distorted manipulation techniques within post production. We’re very happy with the new look and feel which Spinach have developed and feel it really depicts our philosophy and values of the company

Taking this beautiful image shot by Dirk Rees, The Operators changed the dynamics and aesthetics of the image by adding a little twist to the model. Slicing into the model within retouch the dimensional effect was then formulated with tonal work and shape.

The use and development of technologies has opened up different avenues of technologies. The Operators collaborated with photographer Trigger to create this exciting ice image. With Trigger supplying the back-plate, The Operators undertook the challenging task of modeling all subject matter within the shot and created our own specific textures to make the elements become ice. Using different techniques and layering specific textures and renders in areas of the models. Created cracks, grooves, refraction depth and surface reflection allowed us to create an image which otherwise would have blown the budget being made within set build. Saving time, individually molding, deep freezing, then transporting and storing actual ice sculptures saved so much within post production. CGi was a blessing to use within the production.
