BAYER STONEVILLE "Sky’s The Limit"
︎ Cotton and clouds star in BBDO Atlanta's "Sky's the Limit" for Bayer Stoneville, which I co-directed with Tom Bussell for The Mill+.
Stoneville cotton seeds are scientifically improved plants with a high-yield potential. The Mill+ team used fully CG animated clouds to illustrate the growth and uses of the soft cotton once fully blossomed.
Shot on location in South Georgia, it was a delicate process to choose just the right cotton field to film in. Once a cotton field blooms, there is only a four day period before it is harvested. Drones were used to get the high-flying shots, as a helicopter would not have been able to fly low enough to the farm without disrupting the cotton.
