United Airlines / Olympics 2021

I've had the pleasure of playing with my color grading crayon set on this beautiful campaign for United Airlines with athletic stars Simone Biles - Gymnast, Kolohe Andino - Surfer, Julie Ertz - Football Defender, Jessica Long - Swimmer and Oz Sanchez - Hand Cyclist.

The film for the campaign shows these incredible Olympic athletes warming up with their shadows creating the image of an airplane building to take off.

Working with the team from MPC including Creative Director Sina Taherkhani and the ever watchful eye of VFX lead Todd Sarsfield also CG lead Richard Morton Executive Producer Matthew Loranger. Producer Tierney Farrell.

A special shoutout to the 'mastermind' (That's what Sina Taherkhani kept calling him!) Editor and Music Composer David Terravova - he was a bit greedy and decided that he was going to produce the music as well, which is beautiful.

The agency was Dentsu mcgarrybowen and they were so wonderful to work with us to provide the creative freedom to build Sina's vision.

Oh, and it was obviously graded by me, Vincent Taylor - maybe you're not supposed to credit yourself if you're the one writing the article? So many rules and I never know what they are.

I really hope you love it as much as I do.
