Both Baygon and Raid change the sprays of their aerosol cans quite a lot, or at least that's how it seems to us - sometimes we get artwork emailed to us, but more often we get a dummy can.

This is useful, it means that we can shoot a hand holding the new can and using the spray in the way it needs to be held. So far we've found that, once we can see how the aerosol needs to be held, we can rearrange the original fingers to fit.

This compilation includes a liquid plug-in that needed changing - again, we were given an empty dummy pack to work with.

The product had to be replaced in four shots in this commercial, and the can revolving in the packshot needed to be remade completely, and at a larger-than-HD size for the zoom back.

The can in the shot spraying the insects had been replaced before, and ended up looking very odd - with our new can it would clearly be impossible for this hand operate the spray button. We suggested to the client that we could remake the hand with a more credible grip, an option they were happy to accept.

The new product was a larger size than in the existing commercial, and various factors in the shots meant that we couldn't just stick a taller version over the original: we had to make clean plates.

The other problem was that we were only given flat artwork, along with photo reference of the two product versions we'd been asked to supply - black cap, and blue cap . . .

For this commercial we were supplied with the original master, flat artwork and a dummy can.

We re-shot the can and comped it into the shots and then replaced the artwork. For the spraying shots we then reinstated the spray.

We've done quite a few product replacements in Raid and Baygon commercials – this one included a shot which required the removal of ten or so animating oranges.

We made a new clean plate, and remade the missing parts of the two bugs.

Most commercials footage we work on is HD, but this is not always the case. For this OFF! Max commercial we were supplied with SD footage which had been standards converted: as a result, the footage suffered from a lot of artifacts and broken frames.

Prior to replacing the can we repaired or removed the damaged frames. Once we had clean footage we were able to 3D track the shot and insert the new can we had modelled. Our can was smaller than the original with a totally different spray nozzle, so we had to substantially reconstruct the background.

Once all our work was completed, we time-warped the new shot to restore it to the original duration.

For the Raid Mariachi campaign we created new product versions with three different labels and two different nozzles. We were supplied with the original footage as well as flat artwork and reference cans.

In order to complete the job we needed to paint up clean backgrounds and create different particle animations for the spray produced by the two different nozzles. The hand was also re-animated to ensure that the grip and spray action suited each lid.
