For this commercial, VFX artist Andres Eguiguren replaced the entire front of the car by the sea in a finished commercial from the previous year with the new 2012 Mercedes model. The advertising film was created for the Mercedes-Benz USA Summer Event 2012.
The major challenge in this work was that Andres Eguigure could not obtain any information about the camera or lenses with which the commercial to be edited had been shot. Nor were there any passes with which he could have worked – only the commercial itself as a reference.
Andres Eguiguren is a VFX supervisor, 3D animator, and director in one and originally comes from Barcelona. On behalf of The Mill in New York, he created this 30-second commercial. In this Vimeo video, the Spanish VFX artist shows his breakdowns before the original film.
