Piranha Bar’s legendary team continue to deliver jaw dropping visual effects and animation with the latest tools. The team picked up an ICAD award this year for their compositing and 3D work on ‘Bord na Mona- Firepak’ and a rare animation gold at last year’s Kinsale Advertising Festival for one of our VHI Testimonial spots. 2 seats of Flame Premium and 8 3D seats (Softimage and 3ds Max) make up the technical backbone of a passionate, artist led environment that has been responsible for 10 years of award winning projects.
Once you’ve shot and edited your project, it’s time to settle in for a session with our cutting edge conforming and grading tools. Two Avid DS suites with effortless multi res conform, native RED R3D import and full support for other file based media along with compositing, effects and grading deliver a high-end polish. Our Flame compositing suites, complete with Lustre’s Academy Award® winning grading tool offer cutting edge solutions for any commercial or film.

As we move into a future where multi-platform expressions of our commercial work are needed to engage our audience, we’re keen to work more closely with you the agencies on developing original content from the ground up. From longer-form webfilms to episodic sponsored content, interactive technologies to bespoke installations, we’ll jump in at any stage to help develop scripts & techniques that push the creative standards of our ever-evolving product.
Whether it’s a simple storyboard that help sell your scripts to clients, animatics for research or more detailed shooting boards, our talented illustrators can create a variety of styles to suit any job. We’re also happy to consult on structuring your narrative and script development if needed.
Is there a technique, a visual trick, an animation style you can’t quite get your head around? A mood-reel that’ll demonstrate the intended tone of your board? We’d be happy to consult on any job at concept stage and to research and develop a demo, pre-vis or edit a reel that delivers a solution to any production or post production problem.
Do you need to create a local version of an international campaign or simply recycle and update an old ad? From simple retitling and pack replacement to more dynamic motion graphics, 3D pack-modeling and animated end-sequences, Piranha Bar provides the highest standard and best value on all your traditional post production needs for existing ads.
Richard Chaney spent some time hanging out in Jamaica with the fastest human in history, Usain Bolt, while directing a new Digicel spot by Boys & Girls, Dublin. Dave Burke produced the 5 day, hybrid motion & stills shoot and made sure the crew turned up in time for flights home.
A crowd sourcing campaign followed, led by the big man himself appealing to the people of the Caribbean to join him on his ‘Run to London’. The Facebook app brought in a vast array of hillarious pics to add to the mountains of images Piranha Bar had shot on location. Piranha Bar’s editors and long-suffering Darach on the VFX decks then set about the painstaking task of sifting through some 16 000 stills to meticulously mashup the run sequences used in the final piece.
Although Usain’s (we’re on first names terms now) Olympic record in the 100m made it all worth while, nothing beats our own record – ’7 Months – The longest post-production in Piranha Bar history’.
Music was by Say Thank You, Cape Town.
We had a bit of craic with the big man making this online call for entries to the ‘Run to London’ campaign. Images selected through the Facebook app would be used in the final TVC.
