Fusion Productions 10-15' Man-made tornado
In a stunt to defy gravity, Reel EFX built a 25' x 25' set, elevated 20' in the air and set the action to rotate 90 degrees. Picture 20 stuntmen in chairs two stories up as the platform they are on rotates. All ties flew perpendicular to the stuntmen who were auctioning gravity. The gravity defying sequence gave the appearance that everything was being pulled toward gravity. The Directors Bureau Prod. Designer: Kim Rees

Volvo "Twister" A tornado chaser, driving a Volvo (of course), plants an instrument pod to measure vortex parameters. The superior handling of the Volvo allows him to dodge an amazing array of obstacles: falling trees, 50 foot boats, parts of houses, and of course, our 40' tornado. 90 second spot for Volvo, U.K. Director: Tony Kaye (who believes you should do the effects for real!)
	About the Volvo Commercial
Isuzu Rodeo Two men going fishing at a secret location which happens to be in the middle of a gunnery range. We created a simulated napalm run. Peter Smille

American Express Creation of a billboard falling on a car. The billboard could be lowered or raised on demand by use of a cable system. David Kellogg Propaganda Films

Duracell - "Fishing" The Putterman family goes fishing. We created a variety of mechanical effects for this, including a power sled that goes from 0 to 30mph and back to 0 again in 20 feet. David Kellogg Propaganda Films

Universal Studios Tour - Pyro and other effects to enhance the appearance of the Waterworld Stunt Show for a promotional spot.

Ivory Soap We created a very smooth sheet of falling water which is penetrated by a "hero" bar of soap. The hero prop was actually made of urethane plastic so it wouldn't dissolve. The water curtain is created by a stilling tank and weir.

Chevy Lumina - Mirror Chevy engineers the Lumina so you don't have "7 years of bad luck". Aired in Quebec, Canada. Using a crane we hoisted mirror panels onto pre-welded frames. The car really does drive through the mirror. For different camera angles the shot was set up three times. (In the dry,dry,dry lakebed)

SKIL - Jumping Fish A radio remote controlled fish was launched by an air cannon out of a pool of water through a hole. The hole was cut using a Skil saber saw. Once launched the fish wiggled in the air. He opened and closed his mouth and gills.

Nike - Andre Agassi Our contribution to this was a 100 mph dolly shot of a tennis ball being served and returned. Look for the article in Cinefex, Sept 1996 issue. Tony Kaye
