Great BTS on VFX breakdown on the Microsoft Surface spot from motion production studio Cardboard Castle…
All in a days work for Cardboard Castle having to either add or take out: all the people in the football stadium, populate the sidelines with extra players, coaches and photographers, remove and add more banners, put in Jumbotron screen graphics, place NFL Seahawks logo to the infield, create rain and add fog, and lots more for one Microsoft commercial spot.
