This campaign for Acuron GT was meant to serve as a fun homage to classic Spielberg films, with our alien UFO’s representing ‘out-of-this-world’ weed control. Directed by Carbon’s Liam Chapple, I served as On-Set VFX Supervisor, CG lead, compositor, and styleframe artist. I also learned more than I ever expected to about Ragweed, Giant Ragweed, and the many stages of corn growth. Our team produced a longform edit, a :15 edit, a large format print image, and real-time versions of our assets that could be displayed as interactive 3D models on the client website.
