Our first of many commercial spots for ODOT and Gard Communications. Park Your Phone plays throughout Oregon in theaters and broadcast, creating awareness to put your phone away before driving.
We were tasked to film and bring to life real elements within a driver’s vehicle. We did this practically using wires, green screen, and a puppeteer. Our toy trooper was practically placed for lighting reference. In post we modeled, textured, rigged, and brought him to life. Our 2D team added a nice touch to the trooper by hand drawing his face and lip sync.
Filming was shot at Cinerent West within a day thanks to a killer crew and lot’s of pre-production planning!
