MPC complete Madonna post work

The Moving Picture Company (MPC) have complete the post on a promo for Madonna's 'Die Another Day', the title track of the new Bond film.
The action-packed promo was shot in LA studios and depicts Madonna going through some Bond-related travails in a torture chamber of ill repute. The prison shots are intercut with a ferocious fencing duel between a good (clad in white) and an evil (clad in black) 'M'.
Wounds inflicted on both fencers are mirrored on the imprisoned Madonna, as she desperately tries to outwit her tormentors. She finally tricks the guards with fancy footwork and flees from the electric chair, leaving them bewildered. The promo ends with Madonna escaping down the prison corridor and merging into the iconic Bond gun-barrel graphic.
Using a range of elements shot against greenscreen and generated in other ways, MPC lead Inferno artist Christophe Allender co-ordinated the effort. Every shot posed its own unique set of challenges.
Additional effects in post included compositing images of the 'M' duellists into shattered glass and combining second passes.
In the final frame, with the Bond gun-barrel, the elements were supplied to MPC in 2k and then manipulated and treated by Inferno artist, Ziggy Zigouras.
