Mercedes-Benz Chasing Lights

The Mercedes-Benz GLK is chased by a mysterious ghost light through the city of Vancouver - directed by Ole Peters.

As art director and motion designer, I was responsible for the VFX look development and creative execution of the "Chasing Light" in the TVC.

It was a heavy After Effects workflow with hundreds of warped and distorted 3D and 2D layers based on basic Cinema 4D renderings.
