Legendary Pokémon's, etched in the collective memory of global enthusiasts for countless years, make a return in an exquisite collaboration with Platige Image studio. Entitled There's a Collection in Everyone, this commercial masterpiece encapsulates the thrill of collecting and trading cards, while the masterful special effects crafted by a visionary Polish computer studio infuse the visuals with an enchanting aura of pure magic.
For nearly three decades, Pokémon's have captured the hearts of fans across the globe, solidifying their status as an enduring cultural phenomenon. Conceived by Satoshi Tajiri, an entomology enthusiast who transformed his passion for insects into a ground breaking venture in the realm of gaming, these imaginative creatures are now making a triumphant return, donning a fresh and captivating façade.
The Polish studio took charge of meticulously orchestrating the shooting set for seamless CG integration, crafting awe-inspiring special effects, and meticulously preparing broadcast-ready files for television stations across nine European nations set to air the commercial. Helming this artistic endeavour was the acclaimed director Claire Norowzian, a two-time BAFTA laureate.
"Right from the get-go, the project posed immense challenges. Our foremost concern was harmonizing with the essence and charm of the Pokémon universe, which has thrived for close to three decades. We kept in mind that our target audience comprised children hailing from all corners of the globe. Thus, we embarked on a creative journey to fashion graphics that seamlessly merged the timeless allure of traditional hand-drawn animation with the cutting-edge realm of 3D animation. The outcome was nothing short of awe-inspiring" says Maciej Shevchenko, VFX supervisor.
