Let's Go with Chevrolet Montana 2025
Objective
Launch the all-new Chevrolet Montana 2025 trim across South American markets with a centralized Global Asset Package (GAP) adaptable for multi-market broadcast, print, OOH, and digital portals.
Strategy
Reframe utility into modern escapism through Rodrigo, an urban entrepreneur balancing trade and family. The visual tone curated a pan-regional look, avoiding country-specific tropes so imagery felt natural in every South American market.
Execution
Directed a seamless global virtual production effort. Realism was built through addition rather than subtraction: guiding the 3D pipeline to add road physics, tire compression on asphalt, road dust, and authentic light bounces alongside live talent.

+Production Notes: The Virtual Pipeline & 24-Hour Cycle
Pan-Regional Art Direction
To serve Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and regional South American distributors from a single asset suite, location scouting had to be strategic. Workshop spaces, street architecture, and coastal plates were selected to reflect a shared modern South American aesthetic instead of identifiable landmarks tied to one country.
Concept to Storyboard
- Mapped vehicle engineering highlights to real-world tasks for small business owners.
- Built lighting and environment moodboards for client alignment.
- Created shot-by-shot broadcast storyboards detailing camera angles, talent blocking, and payload capacity features.
Realism by Addition
Standard automotive retouching is subtractive: removing rigs, reflections, and road grit. A virtual CGI shoot is the exact opposite. Pure renders look sterile, so realism had to be added back manually:
- Directed the CGI team to compress the tires against the asphalt so the vehicle sat with genuine road weight.
- Integrated subtle atmospheric haze, authentic light spill onto the body panels, and motion blur.
The 24-Hour "Follow-the-Sun" Workflow
Production ran continuously across opposite sides of the world. The 3D team in the Americas rendered and shipped files at the end of their day. Our art team reviewed passes, marked up frames, and adjusted color grading during our daytime hours. Notes arrived in the Americas at their morning call, ready to implement with zero lost time.
