What happens when you drop a car and an umbrella in a vacuum chamber?

We are extremely excited to share our latest work for the launch of Škoda's new electric car Enyaq. Our team collaborated with FCB and acclaimed directors Ian Pons Jewell, Yukihiro Shoda from ProdCo.

To answer the question, the directors went to an ex-NASA engineer to understand the science. "That research shaped everything—from the air-draining pipes to the rigs and monitoring devices on the walls."

Our CGI team took this invaluable research as inspiration to design the vacuum chamber. Attention to detail was key in the whole commercial to stay true to reality and achieve the desired outcome for FCB, Ian Pons Jewell and Yukihiro Shoda.
