Traktor has directed ‘Bottled Air,’ Vigorsol’s new ad promoting the chewing gum’s unique refreshing powers. Set in beautiful Havana, the provocative commercial was produced by Sam Robinson at BBH and Rani Melendez at Traktor. MPC added the cooling vapour to the spot.
MPC assisted on the 2 day shoot in Cuba where a South American crew supported and local extras took starring roles. Once the ad was cut, a studio shoot in London was organised to capture the vapour elements. With a matched camera position actors were dressed in black suits and shot as the vapour surrounded them. The vapour was then composited to the live footage and in some cases enhanced, carefully matching the actors’ movements.
