BT INFINITY –
Light Stream
VFX Supervisor, Creative Direction, The Mill
As part of BT’s Light Stream campaign, this 40-second commercial spotlights the brand’s fibre optic broadband and its role in powering seamless online gaming, shopping, and entertainment. Directed by Thomas Napper and produced by HSI for AMV, the film visualises connectivity as dynamic streams of light — cutting across British homes and morphing to meet each household’s digital needs.
Working as VFX Supervisor and Creative Design artist, I collaborated closely with the 3D team to integrate the light trails and energy waves into real-world environments. Each scenario required unique compositing solutions, particularly in the gaming sequence where trails evolved into wormholes, ship explosions, and stylised motion bursts.
A custom 3D trail system built in XSI was key to the visual continuity — acting as both a unifying graphic device and a storytelling tool. The final grade by Aubrey Woodiwiss maintained director Thomas Napper’s signature sense of mood and fluid pacing.
