Metra Spots

Red19 Creative was tasked with creating spots that showed Metra trains racing past drivers stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, and then each driver needs to end up in a better location than their car! One to end up at a concert, one to end up at a beach in Hawaii. Shot over 2 days, we scouted the perfect location on a bridge that has a Metra train line running directly next to it. Of course we added adjacent cars and footage of the passing train thru the passenger window all in post. We shot in a parking lot near to the bridge to get the same lighting and background elements as would be on the bridge. Other shots all in-studio, a concert shot on a gimbal and beach setting on green screen. All shot with a Sony FX3 with prime lenses, using a gimbal for concert scene. Compositing done in both Nuke and After Effects, editing and color in DaVinci Resolve.
