Super compositing. My first guess is that they filmed each shot as a static shot, then zoomed in so they could pan around and make it look like a hand-held.

How did they really do it? I have no idea; you tell me…

The Mill is currently creating some of the hottest commercials on TV.  They bring a wicked mix of 3D, live action, seamless compositing and some seriously creative ideas. If you’ve seen their work, I’m sure you can agree that these guys know how to turn heads.

Their 2009 showreel is nothing short of spectacular. It is packed full of their latest and greatest, and to top it off, they cut it to an awesome track by Trentemoller - “The Forest”. Check it out!
