Vanquis Bank - Dragon

Never tickle a sleeping Dragon…
…might be the Hogwarts motto, but it very much applied to this campaign for Vanquis Bank, their most ambitious yet!

Brand Name

Vanquis Bank

Flipbook were thrilled to be involved in the new Vanquis Bank TV adverts, working alongside driven agency, Velvet and director Phil Hawkins.

Shot in the Sahara Desert, the new ‘Dragon’ ad was the sixth instalment of the “Acquire the Power” campaign from Vanquis Bank.

 It is the first-ever advert from the company to incorporate CGI animation. Flipbook produced the brand-new character for the series, the CG animated, fire-breathing dragon.

All of the CGI, VFX and post-production were performed in-house at our studio. 

The dragon’s body was first modelled, before adding textures, materials and shaders. It was then rigged, skinned and animated.VFX, lighting, compositing and grading were all then undertaken.

The new campaign will run on national TV, digital and radio.
