Last but not least: Chameleon on four wheels
The Blackbird vehicle can be retrofitted to take on the appearance of any car. It was developed for the advertising and film industries.
The presence of real cars is now no longer necessary to make photorealistic footage of them. The company JemFX spent two years developing the Blackbird until it was ready for use. The reward was innovation gold at Cannes - and a lot of attention from the entire advertising industry. Because the black wonder car replaces any car during filming. The body of an x-large vehicle is subsequently calculated into the picture. Wheelbase and rims can be adapted to the "target car" during filming.
The Mill Blackbird thus makes it possible, for example, to shoot a commercial for a car that does not yet exist. Or a commercial can be "updated" if the car shown changes or a special option is to be presented. Different versions of a film for different countries? No problem. Films can show cars that are too expensive or too rare to be used in real life. In contrast to pure computer animation, with the Blackbird the image is prepared ready to go: The shadows on the ground and all the traces left by a car are already correct and do not have to be calculated into the image afterwards. 360-degree cameras record the environment, create a virtual version from it and adjust the car body to be inserted to all environmental influences.
