From Merkley + Partners, DGA-winning director Peter Thwaites and The Mill, the epic spot features Mercedes-Benz cars from the first late 19th-century model to the futuristic Biome. They rendezvous in the night to welcome four new 2011 models to the family … sans drivers! While cars were shipped to L.A. from all over the world for the shoot, The Mill's 3D team, led by Andrew Proctor, actually created two of the new 2011 cars in CG. Gavin Wellsman, Co-Head of 2D, and his team were tasked with Flame cleanup to hide the stunt drivers who actually drove the cars. Along with all the Mercedes-Benz eye candy, we see P Diddy awake startled in the middle of the night as his own Mercedes-Benz takes off down the driveway. The fun escalates as P Diddy gives chase!
