Creating Danger Without the Risk
For this important road safety campaign, we teamed up with director Joshua Lamont to bring a powerful message to screen – highlighting the vulnerability of motorcyclists on Tasmanian roads.
Blending Reality and VFX
Josh captured beautifully cinematic footage of a rider travelling through iconic Tasmanian locations. Our role was to introduce realistic-looking vehicles into those scenes – cars and trucks that appear at the last second as if they’re about to collide, only to dissolve and vanish just before impact. It’s a visual metaphor, designed to jolt the viewer without ever needing to stage a real crash
The Art of Convincing Illusion
The biggest technical hurdle was accuracy. Our CG vehicles had to sit perfectly in the filmed footage – tracking the road plates, camera movement, and lighting conditions to a tee. Every detail mattered: wheel rotation, indicator lights blinking in sync, suspension giving subtle bounces over uneven roads. All of it had to feel grounded in the real world.
Subtle, Sharp, and Purposeful
This was about restraint as much as spectacle. The VFX couldn’t shout – they had to seamlessly blend in and serve the emotional punch of the message. With precise tracking and careful animation, we helped bring that vision to life.
If you’re looking for a team that knows how to blend photo-real CG into live-action storytelling, let’s talk.
