Creed x Centaurus

Sam Hofman

The Centaurs Film: Part of a series of three films known as The Embers Project. Each film is focused on a unique fragrance, creating distinct yet unified visual identities. Using motion control and Phantom high-speed cinematography, the films explore light, texture, and movement.

A unique technique involved wide-angle macro, where the lens sometimes touched the product. This, along with Phantom footage on a TV screen, added depth to the visuals.

The project used a dual-set approach separating the sets for the stills and motion capturing high-speed ingredient movements while sculpting lighting for depth with highlights and shadows. The Centaurs Film showed this with bottle curvature and ember-like textures. Collaboration with Tim Green (DoP).
