Škoda Enyaq / Making Of

This was a complex project in terms of VFX and Freefolk, led by their Creative Director Jason Watts.

The design of the chamber took inspiration from NASA's vacuum chamber, the largest in the world. Like the NASA chamber, and to match this the VFX team created brushed aluminum panels for the walls to reflect the surrounding light. The goal was to make it modern and sleek to align with both the Skoda brand and the car’s aesthetic.

The VFX team had to create a smooth and elegant transition from the chamber’s interior to the lush, exterior forest environment. To do this, they built an entire CG forest inspired by the live-action scenes of the commercial. The forest was populated with various tree species, shrubs, stumps, twigs, and other assets, along with a CG road to complete the scene.

The car had intricate material properties, including a two-tone base layer with a clear topcoat. The goal was to match the real car’s materials as closely as possible, particularly for one driving shot where we transition from a CG car (viewed from underground) to a live-action plate. Achieving a seamless transition between the two was key to maintaining visual consistency.
