Optiver Ad - The Power of Numbers

Financial company Optiver launch their recruitment ad ‘We Believe in The Power Of Numbers,’ featuring a Mensa triangle puzzle for applicants to solve. “Solve the missing sequence in our film and apply for all open roles here.”

My Role: I was approached by production company Not Just Any to assist their team in creating graphics for the 40s ad. This involved using Trapcode form to create grids of ever-changing binary numbers, and designing and animating mensa triangles to trac into Russ’ beautiful 3D renders. I also did a fair amount of VFX work in transitioning between certain shots, comping graphics into the actor’s eye, and retouching some shots to alter the backgrounds. We delivered in 16x9, 9x16, 4x5 and 1x1, with many additional outputs for social media.
