Here’s some BTS from the OLG Lotto Max shoot. This campaign required multiple locations across four spots shot in two days. See how we used a combination of Unreal Engine, stills, and video plates to achieve this ambitious shoot. Our VAD team custom built a yacht, Italian kitchen, and mountain top in Unreal for this campaign. Excellent work team!

@davidwma reimagines big-budget Hollywood stunts using RC toy cars in his newest film ‘Vroom’ shot on an 8K volume stage at @spstudioscanada. The film utilized custom 1:16 miniature sets & stunt drivers to achieve all of their stunts and effects practically in camera without CGI. The film was shot entirely on an @apple iPhone Pro 16 one week before its release. #behindthescenes #miniatures Follow @filmmakersworld & @davidwma for more behind-the-scenes 🎥🎬 “VROOM” CREDITS: Executive Producer / Director - David Ma Executive Producer - Jennifer Haufler @jenniferhaufler Producer - Sergii Voronin @voronin.follow Producer - Nikita Kozlov @on.antibiotiques Cinematographer - Etienne Proulx @lepackshot Camera Assistant - Meriem Abbes @themeriemabbes Gaffer / Key Grip - David Grif @neon_criminal Swing - Brianna Chary Best Boy Electric - Santiago Moreno @cine.santi Art Director - Alex Schnobb @alexschnobb Production Designer - Emma Monaghan @propsbandit Set Decorator - Justin Craig @Justincraigdesign Assistant Set Decorator - Steeve Henry Art PA - Aidan Carter SPFX LEAD - Phil Maurais SPFX LEAD - Alessandro Beninati @odyvia_s13 SPFX LEAD - Shuba Dasgupta @shubadasgupta SPFX LEAD - RC Car Rig - Brian Haimes @brianhaimes Stunt Driver - RC Cars - Paul Nigro @grassrootsperformance Stunt Driver - RC Cars - Alex Frost FPV Pilot - Justin Nishida Behind-the-Scenes: @darapollak & @jeremyjacobowitz Storyboards: Mike Quattrocchi NYC-TORONTO PA Driver - Jeremy Duenas Casting - Krista Fraser - @fraser.casting Talent - Jhassan Webster Craft - Tracey Bowers-Lee - @tabowerslee Studio: SP Studios @spstudioscanada Gear: SP Studios SP Studios Executive Producer Khasan Aripov SP Studios MOCO Operator: Adam Shone @shoneadam SP Studios ICVFX Supervisor Conor McNeilly - @r0n0c SP Studios Unreal Engine Artist - Parth Bhagat - @grimjogger SP Studios Unreal Engine Artist- Ryan Lovelock SP Studios BTS - Chris Greef @chrisgreef SP Studios PA- Shane Campbell POST: Editor: Tommy Button @tommybutton VFX Artist & Supervisor: Brian Haimes Colorist: Katherine Fox Sound Design: Mat Guido @soundslike.nyc

I teamed up with @spstudioscanada earlier this year on a project using their virtual production LED wall. What began as a simple camera test quickly turned into something much bigger. Working in a virtual environment made every step of the process smoother and kept our canine star, Ziggy, calm and relaxed… maybe a little too relaxed at times! Huge thanks to our small but mighty team who made it all happen. Shot on Alexa 35 with Atlas Orion Silver Edition Lenses.
