14+ Million views in the first week! 3 x Ad of the Day 5 x Ad of the Week 1 x NOWNESS Pick Featuring on publications like The Drum, Creative Review, LBB (Little Black Book), ADWEEK, Forbes, designboom... Our latest work has been generating quite some buzz, and we couldn’t be more proud! ‘Wear wool, not waste’, the new striking Woolmark commercial with hordes of ‘undead’ synthetic clothing rampaging through a city! One of the biggest challenges was transitioning the crowd from motion capture to ragdoll animation—where an agent falls and its body reacts naturally to the ground—followed by full-body cloth simulation. Our artists spent two months refining this system to ensure it was robust and realistic. When it finally worked, the team was ecstatic. The final commercial is not only visually striking but also carries a powerful message—a perfect example of how VFX can support the narrative and elevate the final product into something truly eye-catching and unique. I thank my team for bringing their extraordinary talents, energy and friendship to this project. This was truly done by the books, on all fronts.

Storytelling can be a force for positive action and transformation. One such storyteller who has demonstrated this so powerfully throughout his life is the legendary Sir David Attenborough. Happy 100th Birthday Sir David and thank you for continuing to inspire us all! 💚 Clips credit: BBC Earth

The opening shot of Change Drivers S3, Episode 2 features clothing falling from the sky over the London skyscape. While it was made entirely in VFX by the talented @redivider.studio team, the idea behind is very real. As @christopher.raeburn of @raeburn_design puts it in his episode: “Every second, the equivalent of one garbage truck of usable materials or textiles are dumped or burned.” Much of it ends up in places like Accra, Ghana, where around 15 million garments arrive every week. A significant portion becomes waste, piling up in landfills or washing onto beaches, leaving local communities to deal with the consequences. Waste is only waste when we fail to use our imagination. To see how Christopher’s thinking translates into action, watch his episode of @wbd Change Drivers. Streaming now.

As Director @silvanderwoerd says, “You look at Christopher’s collection and you want to wear it, it’s looking that good. The fact that it’s made from waste materials almost feels beside the point, until you realise that’s exactly the point. Waste is only waste when we stop imagining what it could become.” For @christopher.raeburn ‘s episode of Change Drivers, we step into the world of a true pioneer in responsible fashion through his brand @raeburn_design . Long before sustainability entered the fashion conversation, Christopher was already reworking surplus materials and pushing the industry to rethink its relationship with waste. Through the lens of longtime collaborator @keidrychwasley_dop , we set out to capture that spirit of imagination in action and how his work has helped shape a new blueprint for fashion. Change Drivers Season 3 Episode 2 is now on-air on Discovery Channel and across @wbd networks worldwide.

We took to the rooftops of London for a key part of our latest @wbd Change Drivers episode with @christopher.raeburn ! Filming Christopher with his @raeburn.designs pieces up there gave us a new way of seeing the work up close and in motion. The same location at @designdistrictlondon became the backdrop for the opening shot of the episode, where we see clothes falling from the sky, a sign of the waste created in fashion’s constant pursuit of the new. Huge thanks to Christopher for trusting us with his work and for welcoming us into his studio! And thanks to our incredible crew for making the shoot happen! Change Drivers Season 3 Episode 2 is now on-air on Discovery Channel and across Warner Bros. Discovery networks worldwide.

We don’t need more clothes. We need more creativity. Fashion is normally all about the new but @christopher.raeburn has always questioned that. In our interview, he explains how something as simple as repairing what we already own can completely change how we value it. Watch his episode of @wbd Change Drivers to see how he and his fashion line @raeburn_design is changing the world through responsible design. #changedrivers #fashion #waste #responsiblefashion

We live in a throwaway society. Every second, the equivalent of one garbage truck full of usable materials and textiles is dumped on landfills or burnt. In Season Three, Episode 2 of our Change Drivers series for Discovery, we follow @christopher.raeburn , who challenges us to see that waste is only waste when we fail to use our imagination. “My name is Christopher Raeburn and I’m a responsible fashion designer. Today fashion moves fast but we can make it last.” Learn more from Christopher on how fashion has the power to transform waste into beauty. Change Drivers Season 3 Episode 2 is now on-air on Discovery Channel and across Warner Bros. Discovery networks worldwide.
