Mercedes sponsored the national German football team for this commercial which coincided with the 2014 World Cup.  Germany actually went on to win that year, which meant the ad played on television more than initially planned!

To create the seamless camera movement, we had the challenge of stringing together full CG, with live action anamorphic and non-anamorphic RED footage.  We rendered using Arnold in Maya.
