About the project

The gap between commercial and feature VFX continues to narrow and the giant-nemesis-threatens-urbanites trend keeps building with this spot from BBH and Stink director Rafael Lopez featuring intensely detailed VFX from MPC (Suicide Squad, Fantastic Beasts, The Martian) including a bespoke shattering software system used to vanquish the monster, and break down his body into rocks. Sound Design and mix by 750mph.

The music features live recorded choir and orchestra blended with electronic sounds for added bass. This came in handy when the mix got converted into surround for a worldwide cinema release.
