Budweiser "First Delivery"
Case Study

"Our talented VFX team worked tirelessly and collaborated closely together to bring this beautiful spot to life. From environment extensions using CG and matte paintings, to creating a full CG horse that seamlessly blended together with live-action plates, every shot was crafted to enhance the journey and made the hero’s struggle feel all the more real. "

"Our foal dreamed of doing something greater than himself and was bold enough to try. His naiveté gave him the courage to overcome distance and obstacles to achieve his goal. Making the foal's journey more epic, larger, and magical became OUR journey. And we, as a team, have embodied a little of his naiveté and boldness to deliver this amazing film."

VFX Supervisor, Rafael Ghencev
