Cadillac Catera: Wizard

For Cadillac's Catera commercial which premiered during Superbowl XXXI, Matte World Digital was asked to provide nine magical moonlit fantasy environments. The work was to be reminiscent of Maxfield Parrish with a little Bram Stoker's Dracula mixed in.

Cindy Crawford gets ready to do a take in front of a green screen. All of Cindy's interior driving shots were shot on stage.

It was MWD's job to create backgrounds showing motion as seen through the windows.	The composited shot ready to have the animated Duck, created by Duck Soup, Los Angeles., added to the passenger seat.

This interior set was photographed against a giant green screen allowing MWD to create a moonlit courtyard.	The moonlit courtyard is completed with multiple layers of moving clouds creating a fantasy environment.
