ADF Careers: Make Your Impact

Collider Studio was tasked by VML to bring to life the entirety of the VFX within the ADF’s Make Your Impact campaign. Directed by renowned filmmaker Rupert Sanders (Ghost in the Shell, Snow White and the Huntsman), the tri-service campaign was one of the ADF’s largest ever undertaken and involved a huge degree of planning across the Army, Navy and Air Force divisions. The naturalistically-styled stories feature a full spectrum of military personnel on and off duty and were shot over nine days at multiple locations around Australia.

A suite of highly detailed CG assets were created by Studio in careful consultation with ADF military advisors to support the majority of in-camera moments and heighten the drama. The Collins Class Submarine, a Black Hornet surveillance drone, a firing AGM-88 Harpoon missile on the wing of an F-18 Super Hornet and a CubeSat (a miniature satellite used by ADF Space Command) were all created by Studio. As Head of Studio Production, Hossein oversaw all VFX and post production from initial bid through to delivery, a total of six months from inception to completion.
