I always find fire a very facinating element. Its shape and size is not constant, it looks brilliant (when in control) and when choreographed looks beautiful.

This particular spot done by DAf from Chile is amazing. Fire is always a tough call to make. Its not very easy to control on set, its not easy to make it look good in CG. Some of the best CG fires I have seen was in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, done by Industrial Light and Magic, am not saying this because I work there but its really amazing. To read more about how the CG fire was created in The Half Blood Prince click here.

Its always best to shot plates of fire, as reference and if composited well it can be used in the final shot. Elements that way- fire, water, debris its best to get as many practical plates as possible. Nothing beats the real thing.

Enjoy the making of and the advert.
