Case Study
HOW WE DID IT
Since we had built a fully photoreal and incredibly detailed fully digital San Francisco and San Jose for Uber Elevate VR already, we had the full creative freedom to digitally scout the locations, find angles and then “shoot it” like in real life.
We could place the camera anywhere and change the path of the aircraft to fly whichever way we wanted and capture it and relight. This gave us a lot of room to play.
We’ve put an incredible amount of attention to each detail of the aircraft, the reflections and its lighting. We art directed the look giving it our special automotive style. The final product is a gorgeous, entirely computer generated, Uber Air reveal film.
