The shot we undertook for this commercial was very challenging. It contained a complex track, repainting of parts of the background, re-animation of the background characters, rotoscoping of the foreground action and, of course, replacement of the car itself – the new C-Class for China.

It was obviously essential that our new car looked grounded in the environment. To achieve this we built a 3D sphere which incorporated buildings, racetrack and sky, as well as the pit-crew. Where possible we also mapped detail from the original car on to our 3D model.
