...not so much for the widescreen cinematic experience, but for the very exciting shooting and special effects that are used in this two minute spot. This commercial brings out the best in production and post production: In production, you'll see a state of the art motion control rig, dolly work, cranes and lighting. And in post, you'll experience 5 weeks of special effects, layering, colorizing and 3D animation...it's exceptional.
These digital tools can also be utilized in a corporate theater environment.
