New Audi Q7 Commercial Shows Real Life Optical Trickery

The latest Audi Q7 commercial has been made with complex mix of reflections and patterns created by powerful projectors; no Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) used

In modern times, almost every product commercial is made with the usage of Computer Generated Imagery (CGI). But German automaker Audi has proved that similar visual effects can be produced without using the CGI. The new advert of Audi’s Q7 flagship SUV has been made with complex mix of reflections and patterns created by super-powerful projectors and the result is unbelievably mind blowing.

The commercial comes with an apt title, ‘Projection of Greatness’. It has been made by Audi Canada at the Fortress Mountain, which is situated at 7,500 feet above sea level. During the shooting, temperature was -25 degree Celsius. The entire projection was made live at the location only, therefore breaking the trend of using after shoot CGI. During the shoot, a series of 20,000 lumen projectors were used.
