Essilor Luxottica - Varilux VR

For this shoot, 20 Red Lights served the British The Mill for an all digital production in Milan. A big LED wall was the only background, containing futuristic and super bright 3D images. The models float in this immersive and high tech environment, showing the beauty and effectiveness of the new Varilux lenses.

About the director Andrew Proctor

Upon graduating, Andrew moved to London to start his first job at The Mill. Andrew swiftly moved up The Mill ranks receiving many awards along the way including the prestigious BTA: Best new animator Award and the First Boards Award for animation. Initially earning his stripes as a lead CG artist specializing in lighting and rendering and visual effects supervision, Andrew played a huge hand in award winning spots like Coke “It’s Mine,” Honda “Cog,” Barclaycard “Rollercoaster” and Mercedes “Cloud Gods.”

From London to NYC and now LA, Andrew has been a force in the industry for some time. Evolving alongside its early champions, The Mill has since opened its very own production company, Mill+, where Andrew has been a premier director over a decade. Rising up out of the visual effects industry, Andrew offers a new perspective and unique skill-set rarely honed by traditionally trained directors. Not only can he capture worlds through the lens, he can build them. Directing title sequences, music videos and commercials for huge brands like Pepsi, Adidas and Audi it’s only a matter of time before he can add features to his growing reel.
