Project Overview

Super tough is super light.

No items found.

When I first told my stepdad, a general contractor, that I was working with CAT Footwear; he ran into the basement and pulled out an old pair of CAT boots and set them on the table. "I've had these for 15 years," he said, "the best boots I've ever worn." CAT makes incredible, long lasting products and when they approached us to help them show off just how light one of their oldest types of boot is, we took it quite literally.

Details

We did weeks of experimenting and testing to figure out how to make our actor float successfully. From super slow motion, to compositing multiple layers, to simple tricks of the camera; we used it all to achieve the effect. Our talent really showed off just how strong he is by being able to hold onto a metal bar for most of the day-big shouts out to Anthony.

logo for Saucony

CAT Footwear

Excavator Superlite

For 3.5 years I worked on the Saucony account while at Someoddpilot, their agency of record. I worked with our team to craft over a dozen CTV and broadcast spots, hundreds of social assets, and countless animations.

Over the years, we spearheaded new and creative techniques to capture their running shoes without the need for expensive and time-consuming 3D modeling and texturing.

Here is a smattering of work from over the years.
