3D Scanning: Beings
The creative tells a story of how small choices Noble Oak make in its distillation create a big change now, (A great whiskey); with a tree being planted for every bottle sold to benefit a future generation. (A noble heart). The film works in two ways, normal playing showing the fully grown tree journeying back into a seed. Then also reversed from the seed growing into the tree. A 3D pipeline production process headed up by Gabor and One Small Pixel was chosen, keeping consistency across the shots through time.

A Journey Through Nature: Sound Design for the Noble Oak Film
Sound design plays a critical role in transporting viewers into the heart of a lush forest in the Noble Oak whiskey film. This immersive soundscape enhances the film's message of environmental responsibility.
A World of Textural Details:
- Uncovering Hidden Sounds: The sound design goes beyond typical nature recordings, delving into the rarely heard micro-details of the forest environment. Close-up shots and wide camera angles work in tandem with the sound design to create a sense of discovery, allowing viewers to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
- A Symphony of Nature: From the rustling leaves and creaking branches to the delicate sounds of scurrying insects, the sound design recreates the rich textural soundscape of a thriving forest.
Dialogue in Harmony:
- Nature in the Forefront: Careful attention was paid to the balance between dialogue and sound effects. The soundscape remains the primary focus, with dialogue seamlessly integrated without diminishing the impact of the immersive natural sounds.
- A SFX-Driven Experience: This project prioritised a powerful soundscape, and the final mix reflects this intention. The result is a truly immersive experience that allows viewers to connect with the natural world and appreciate Noble Oak's commitment to environmental sustainability.
