CALL OF DUTYTHE VET AND THE N00B

The ninety second commercial titled “The Vet and The n00b” stars Sam Worthington (Avatar) and Jonah Hill (Superbad) is more small feature than commercial. The film combines very large live action elements with explosive VFX to create a live action game environment that rivals none. The deadline on the project to meet the release of the game on November 8th was a challenge from the outset for production and post. The VFX team was able to produce over 70 shots in less than two weeks.

Let's hang a car off a bridge. Easier said then done. Aside from some of the shots from the water, the car was shot against process screen in a parking lot in Turkey. Every background was replaced and designed to the shot. We also created the 3D end tag from a model perovided from BMW.

SNWABROWN BAG

The Southern Nevada Water Authority with R&R Partners has once again gone out to produce an entertaining and important message about reducing water consumption in the Las Vegas area. The message has resonance for every resident in the southwest/western US, where water is becoming more scarce than oil. We were happy to join Boxer Films in producing the advert to create a awareness of the water reduction campaign. And who doesn’t like flying a porta potty through the air.

KRAFTIT TAKES A TEAM

The two minute and thirty second piece required 32 full crowd and stadium replacement shots over two and half weeks. The format allowed the final delivery to play more like a movie trailer than a commercial vehicle. The campaign for Kraft is a call to action for all their brands to combat world hunger. The tag line “It Takes a Team to Make a Difference” is illustrated visually with a football sequence played twice from different points of view: once from an individual player making the play and then from the team being able to create the play for the player. Creatively the effort was lead by partner and creative director Andy Mac and produced by partner Matthew McManus.

CALL OF DUTY

KILT COMPLETES ITS TOUR

CULVER CITY, CA - KILT Studios delivers the seminal Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 3 for 72 and Sunny and Pony Show Entertainment with director Peter Berg. The ninety second commercial titled “The Vet and The n00b” stars Sam Worthington (Avatar) and Jonah Hill (Superbad) is more small feature than commercial. The film combines very large live action elements with explosive VFX to create a live action game environment that rivals none. In the first 4 days of the commercial’s release, the spot was viewed by 4.6 million viewers on YouTube.


The Vet, Sam Worthington, and the n00b, Jonah Hill, star as gamers entering the live action world of Call of Duty. In the classic genre set of the ‘buddy film’, Mr. Worthington sets off expertly downing his competition while Mr. Hill, at first, fumbles his way through having to ‘re-spawn’ in different environments. As the two continue on their journey through the game, the commercial takes them from the …
