Ring of fire vfx’s latest collaboration with director Kendall Bowlin depicts an international cry for help to help promote Heroes Reborn, a 13-episode miniseries that will premiere Thursday, Sept 24, on NBC. This marks the return to TV for Heroes after a five-year absence. The Heroes franchise is an American science fiction drama series created by Tim Kring. The series tells the stories of ordinary people who discover superhuman abilities, and how these abilities take effect in the characters’ lives.
Working closely with Bowlin and editors/writers/creatives Ryan Sage and Steven Wagner, ring of fire assisted with an extensive search of sourced footage and created visual effects to aid in telling this story.
Ring of fire vfx contributed to design, effects composition, and created 2D/3D VFX throughout this teaser trailer titled “Where Are the Heroes?” The trailer can be seen in regular rotation on NBC, running before feature films in theaters around the country and on select American Airlines flights.

The Best Work You May Never See: McCann NY, Director Christian Breslauer Sound Grande For New York Lottery
McCann New York launched a campaign for the New York Lottery which includes this music video-style spot directed by Christian Breslauer of London Alley.

The new lotto games were designed by McCann Design, inspired by the colorful storefronts of New York bodegas.
