David&Goliath teamed up with director Matthijs van Heijningen of MJZ to debut 'The Perfect Getaway Vehicle' for Kia during Super Bowl XLIX. With a little help from the dashing Pierce Brosnan (formerly known as 007) and visual effects by The Mill, the spot marks the roll out of promotions for the 2016 Kia Sorento.

Everything Brosnan thought he knew about the perfect getaway vehicle goes out the window when the perfect film is pitched - and it's not an action flick. The spot crosscuts between the pitch and Brosnan in action as he drives along the mountainside, encountering slightly less violent scenarios than the usual; an owl, a sluggish moose and fireworks (the romantic kind) to name a few, not to mention a cozy cabin at the end of the road.
Mill creative director John Leonti supervised on-set activity to ensure smooth sailing in post-production. John comments, "There were a number of 3D elements added into this spot - the moose, rocket launcher and cabin were made entirely in CG. The whole thing was shot in Colorado in various remote mountain locations, and those elements (like the snow) are real and part of the natural, beautiful environment."
John's biggest challenge? "It was bloody cold!"
