A spot that moves through the decades using a mix of live-action and CG vehicles, with cars transforming from one era to the next. I supervised the visual effects both on set and in the facility. On set, I ran the pre-viz animation that guided the shoot; back at the studio, I supervised the modeling of the vehicles and the rigging of the hundreds of animated pieces that made the transformations work. I also did nearly all of the vehicle shader work and much of the lighting, match-moved many of the shots, and animated a number of the transformation sequences myself. A small team delivered this one, but the result holds up against work from a much larger crew.
