Client: Myprotein
Project: Black Friday
Territories: Global

For Black Friday 2022, Myprotein introduced the Deal Guru, a calm, all-knowing guide to help customers navigate the shopping chaos.

Brilliantly portrayed by comedian Charlie Partridge, the character came to life through a series of witty, VFX-heavy scenarios crafted by the talented team at THG Studios.

Adam served as VFX Supervisor, ensuring all on-set captures were spot on before jumping back into post-production as 3D Animator and VFX Artist to bring the Guru’s world to life.

This project was produced during our time at THG Studios, with Adam as Lead Creative Technologist and Gary as Group Director of Video & Motion. It is shared here with kind permission of THG Studios.
