Project Details
OS-1 is a Japanese hydration drink from Otsuka Pharmaceutical.
I was approached by a friend about a possibility to create environments and animated water for the project. The project was shot in Tokyo at Nikon Creates' virtual production studio.

In the commercial, actor George Tokoro, a famous Japanese TV personality, has a main role alongside the product. The commercial was released during spring and has over 8 million views online.
3D Production
I worked on environment creation, animation and Unreal® Engine 5 Blueprints for real-time use. Additionally, I made rendered animations for compositing and still images for print collateral.
The environment and 3d models were a combination of modeled and licensed 3d assets and the sea animation was done with a plugin called Ocean System for Rendered Cinematics. Rendering for different elements were done using Autodesk® Arnold and Unreal® Engine.
