The Game of Life

Con­tracted by Cre­ative Asy­lum.

Life’s not a game, unless of course you’ve down­loaded the new Game of Life app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. I had the chance to work with Cre­ative Asy­lum to cre­ate a com­mer­cial for the new Game of LIFE app devel­oped by the folks at EA/Hasbro. The spot was designed with an Apple-esque feel in which the iPhone was passed from hand to hand while the game was being played.

  1. How was this shot? Was the ipod given a green shot and they keyed out? How did you do the hand spin­ning the wheel on the screen?

  2. Zach, we received game footage from Cre­ative Asy­lum and com­pos­ited as well as motion tracked all of the footage. The hand turn­ing the wheel is green screen footage of just the hand and then com­pos­ited on top the game. Let me know if you have any other ques­tions! thanks.

  3. Thanks Justin! So did you shoot the hand on the ipod? I’ve been try­ing this and con­sis­tently am run­ning up against the prob­lem of screen reflec­tion. How did you accom­plish this?
