Frankie goes to Hadley Wood

SquareZero were commissioned to create a top secret, 3d hologram of a Frank Sinatra performance.

The brief was to bring Frank Sinatra back for one night only to perform at the 50th birthday party of entertainment mogul Simon Cowell.

Carefully selected black and white footage of Frank Sinatra’s head singing Pennies From Heaven was cleared for use by Franks Estate.

A Frank Sinatra body double, was then shot singing the same song and performing the exact same body movements. The two pieces of footage were expertly composited by the SquareZero team and the black and white footage of Frank colourised also, to match.

**Due to the clearance of the footage for this one night private party, we regret that we are unable to post any of the footage/images online.

Beautiful People

Square Zero created a title sequence for the BBC comedy about Simon Doonan (Samuel Barnett), a window dresser in a New York department store.


How it was done: Directors Olly Tyler and Jonson Jewell used live action, green screen and 2d compositing to create a store front sequence in which series characters are made to look like store mannequins and props that have been speedily put in place by Barnett.
