Rushes complete post on whimsical Boogie Pimps promo Artist: Boogie
Pimps Adrenalin @ Rushes have just completed the post work on this fantastical and hilarious promo for the Boogie Pimps’ new single, ‘Need Somebody to Love.’ This quirky film opens with the Boogie Pimps jet soaring through a blue sky, which is dotted with billowing clouds. Inside the plane are the band’s sky diving team, which is comprised of chubby babies, resplendent in their kit of red jump suit and white helmet. The back of the plane is open and as the light goes from red to green the babies propel themselves forward and jump. They are soon free-falling down to earth, providing the audience with an impressive display as they do so. Their target is a gorgeous, gigantic woman, dressed only in her underwear, who is writhing sexily on the lush but comparatively pint-sized fields and meadows. The babies’ faces fill with delight and milk bottles spring into their minds when they realise that this woman is a milkmaid. Red, white and blue smoke trails behind them as they descend, and as their parachutes open they float towards this amazing woman. She is holding and drinking from a huge baby’s bottle, which is brimming with milk. As the babies land and congregate on her on silk-clad breast she squirts the bottle at the camera, bringing the promo to a close. Rushes’ Carl Grinter says: “Simon and Jon created baby puppets and dressed them in specially designed and tailored suits. These were then puppeteered and shot against a green screen background. Adrian Seery graded the green screen performances and the visual effects team, led by Omar Akkari and Duncan Malcolm, worked closely with the directors to choreograph and time the free fall sequences in which there were trails of smoke and parachutes opening. The babies’ heads were tracked to the puppets for close and mid shots and composited against high-resolution still backgrounds, which were animated to suggest the free fall motion.“ |
