Skinny for Life

Skinny

AI Integration with VFX

Creature Post has been a long-standing, trusted partner of Colenso BBDO, bringing a rare fusion of traditional VFX mastery and cutting-edge AI innovation. Created with director Lex Hodge of Finch Company (plus a whole bunch of other clever humans!) for Skinny. We captured an extensive range of physical image data from Liz – including a live action shoot, a 360° body scan and voice capture recordings. By integrating carefully selected (and legally vetted!) AI tools into a bespoke VFX pipeline, we’ve crafted a consistently recognisable hero – a new kind of brand ambassador. Using advancing technology in a human centric way, we can now bring Liz to life in all sorts of scenarios, styles, and fantastical worlds – while keeping the ‘real’ Liz at the heart of it all. A huge R & D and post undertaking, with an amazing and supportive dream team.
