Acura "By Design"
6 cars, 11 regions, 100+ spots, all in-camera. To capture the exhilarating performance of each of Acura’s 2018-2019 models within every major market, we custom-built an enormous LED stage and lit the whole thing up with striking design-driven environment projections we shot across the US.
I worked together with the Tigrelab creative team as a 3D Artist creating camera animations, and previsualization of each scene. Animations were later transferred to the motion control system for the live-action shooting.
