It’s always fun to spend a day at the zoo - especially with the talents of Waypoint regulars DP Brook Aitken and editor Mike Scalisi on hand to make the story come alive. This time, our spot for the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance found us rigging up a picture car on green screen and compositing all the elements together to create the illusion of mom and daughter “driving” to the zoo.

Two sets of talented actors (two “moms” and two “daughters” - one per language); fanciful animation from Nifty; beautiful color by Brian De Herrera-Schnering at Pinto Pictures, and cameos from giraffes, elephants, otters, and penguins: everyone brought their A-game to help the imagination run wild in these spots for one of our favorite clients.
