Audi A5 – Pure imagination (Director's Cut)

This short film creates the vision of the ‘super-computer’ and aims to answer the question; "What if artificial intelligence could dream?"


Starting from what feels like the inner-core of the machine, the film takes viewers on a vivid journey, through a world of lights, movement, and alternative reality; featuring segments of continuous and fast-travelling shots to ensure that an air of intensity and excitement remains throughout.

The result is a stunning piece that celebrates the magic of visual effects and far beyond, keeping viewers encapsulated in a world of the extraordinary from the opening frame until the closing frame.
