this is finally out of NDA and we’re allowed to show it
This was used for the presentation of the new CL-Class on the Paris Motorshow.
It was shot in Norway and all PostPro (3d/compositing/colorcorrection) was done here in Munich.
All 3d was done in 3dSMax with Vray of course, Compositing with d2’s NUKE and Colorcorrection in Iridas framecycler DI.
We are preparing an explaining version that will explain wich shots were real and wich were partly or fully CG. There’s quite a lot of Set-Replacements and Set-Extensions as well as full CG Cars and Sets.
Involved Crew for the Post-Poduction:
In-House:
Joachim Lincke : Art-Direction, Lead Compositing and ColorCorrection
Thorsten Kaufmann (that would be me:P) : Head of 3D, Tracking
Christian Stoeckl : Shading Packshot and Interior (borrowed from Mackevision )
Dieter Morgenroth : Model Cleanup and rigging (also borrowed from Mackevision )
Jens Vollrath : 3D (My Left Hand and savior :P)
Jan Kiesel : Compositing, Stitching, Mattepainting
Freelancing:

Fikret Yildirim : 3d
Vladan Subotic : 3d
Making of:
We finally got around finishing the Making-of movie. With 230mb it is pretty big to download, but it is good quality and longer then the original spot. Have fun!
The breakdown will most likely need a bit, just a few hints :
There was no Black CL available for Shooting, so every Black CL is Full CG.
The Bridge Shot that shows the Black one overtaking the silver one is completely CG, as well as all the night scenes with the black one. The Packshot (both the rolling and the last one) are also completely CG, as well as the interior nightshot.
The breakdown(s) will explain things in more detail tho.
Kind Regards and thanks for all the nice words,
Thorsten
exellent work…it was hard to tell which shots were cg which were not…great work, great implementation into plates. Did you guys shoot any custom hdrs for this?
