Bausch + Lomb
Director Alan Williams of Imaginary Forces teamed up with Christopher Webb at his FX WRX studio to capture practical liquid FX and product shots for Bausch + Lomb. Working with prop master Makoto Aoki, Chris and his team built a mechanical rig which dropped a custom made model of the product into water. The rig then triggered air powered jets to propel a controlled splash from under the product as it touched down. An adjustable magnetic dampener arrested the product, stopping its descent before any shake or bounce could occur. The entire event was filmed in super slow motion with special lighting and lens systems designed to bring the splash to life.
