The Mill turned some heads last year with the introduction of Blackbird. a new motorized car rig designed to get some traction between real rubber and a real road in order to create a more convincing vehicle in post when the car you really need to shoot isn't actually available for a shoot. Now, the technology has been used to introduce a new GMC vehicle by shooting location footage for a spot long before the vehicle was ready to drive in public. Read more about the project at The Mill's online portfolio page
