Overview

Light, not just a car

The aim was to show the car and also dissect the physics of light hitting complex surfaces.

Inspired by the crystalline Orrefors gear shifter, the renders use multi-layered rendering and caustics simulation to blur the line between real footage and computer-generated imagery.

Timing the shots

Before rendering, every shot got a length. Long establishing shots open, quick 2-second cuts carry the middle, and a short end card closes it.

Vertical teaser

A high-energy teaser made for phone screens. Rapid edits pack fast shots into a short run. It never shows the whole car: flashes of light, close-up details and textures build anticipation instead.
