CGI VFX Breakdowns : "Vestel Northpole" - by Alex & Steffen

Check out this insightful CGI VFX Breakdowns by the talented team Alex & Steffen, showing the side-by-side comparison of the live action footage and how they tuned out in the final shots. The whole commercial was shot in a blue screen studio in Istanbul, the whole environment was created in CG afterwards.
No animals were harmed during the shoot... the fish was already dead.
