Brief Explanation

Enter Captain Risky. He’s a larger-than-life character who embodies all the real-life risk that Budget Direct won’t insure, to save regular people money. Kick it n’ rip it!

Creative Execution

We were responsible for make Risky’s impossible stunts possible. We built a photoreal version of Risky’s car, and added heat haze, fire, smoke and sparks to the rocket on top of the car, which for safety reasons was not able to be lit. Alt also created a photoreal digi double of Captain Risky, to ensure no actors or stunt people were harmed bringing Risky’s more daring stunts to life. We also created the mirror array around Risky's house, melting chair and Risky's house for the aerial shots of the mirror array.
