Or if they just want, like, to add a whole billboard in, or if they want an explosion, blood, smoke, rain, all the stuff that you can't do in real life essentially, or didn't have the money to do.Įleni: So would I have seen any of your stuff anywhere out in the world? So that would be anything from, if there's a logo on a billboard that someone isn't cleared to show in their commercial, I will take that out. I work as a visual effects artist, and mostly I have been working on commercials.
