For the global launch of the new Nissan Leaf, Cadre were brought in by Imagination to create full CG city backdrops and handle VFX for the job. This was a large job with a tight turn around and a 90 second final delivery.
As well as my usual roles I did on set supervision in Japan, which had me a little nervous at first but was a rewarding experience. With rehearsal and three days of shooting, the crew, dancers and all involved put in a huge effort. Which was only the first half the job as we still needed to create and finish all the 3d extensions and compositing!
A short video showing the work that went into making the final product. Including 3d, clean up and compositing. The team at Cadre did a great job to push through so many shots.
The shoot involved a lot of pre-prep and planning but still required on the spot decision making to deal with surprises and changes. It was a large production that came together nicely after a lot of hard work from all involved across various departments and skill sets.
