This isn’t your average Casino campaign. This is ‘All Thrill - Origins.’ We were lucky enough to work the same wonderful team and launch from where the visually insane spots existed last year. Incorporating elements from the round before but pushing more story and narrative into the worlds allowed us to mix live-action green screen stages with amazingly design-driven visual effects culminating in another adrenaline-filled ride through what makes San Manuel Casino so amazing.
We shot on blue screen, creating sets that were embellished later but always gave our world a practicality to them that is hard to replicate in CG. In the end, we are proud to show off all 3 spots. Hold on tight.
