The brief for the 'Pure Jazz Chillout' commercial was to create a smoke-filled jazz club atmosphere, and to be able to control the smoke to such a degree that it could form the shapes of musical symbols and instruments.

Since controlling real smoke was not a viable option, Peter Brookes Productions asked Brandt Animation to originate the material.

Manipulating real smoke elements layered with animation generated with our digital particle system allowed us to form the musical notes and instruments required for the commercial.
