Framestore Creates Magic For Girls Aloud
The first line of the treatment for the new Girls Aloud music video begins: “Five glass spheres fall at impossible speeds towards Earth. Protected within these futuristic force fields, Girls Aloud descend through space and time”. The description of this opening idea for ‘Untouchable’ was the hook for international VFX facility Framestore to get involved in the latest Girls Aloud promo. An ambitious and technical film, created and directed by Marco Puig, Framestore were required to split the VFX work for ‘Untouchable’ into pre and post shoot. Puig wanted to do as much work in camera as possible, so the Framestore team used back projection to create much of the space-scapes before the shoot. This work was then cut into three films – back projection, side projection and reflection projection to put onto the glass spheres.
