Still frames from a very complex effect.

We open on a beauty shot of a Nissan truck driving into a field of snow. Suddenly the whole scene rotates, triggering a dense, swirling snow storm. The camera pulls back revealing that the whole scene was contained inside a childs snow globe.

AFCG created the snowstorm and tracked it to the motion of the snow globe.

Much credit goes to Michel Suissa and the digital artists at black logic... the scene inside the globe was built with many layers and painted elements.
