The most mental job I’ve ever been involved with. We strapped a Playstation move to a camera, rigged inside the MK-V AR rig, sucked all the camera tracking data out of it to give position, orientation and speed and rendered out the projection mapping in a room to the perspective of where the camera was.

Apparently this spot was too similar to these sushi murdering activities. Anyhow, an awesome commercial directed by [...]
