This commercial ran during the last week of 2006
It featured a flying car carrier flying over Times
Square on New Years Eve.
The car carrier was loaded with New Chevy Cars and
trucks.
This commercial was photographed against a green
screen
at Downey Studios in Downey California.
Downey Studios is situated on the site of a former
NASA/Rockwell/Boeing aircraft assembly planet. Space
Shuttle
Orbiters – Columbia, Challenger, Discovery and Atlantis – were
assembled
in the building where this commercial was photographed. Crowd shots
with
the searchlight were photographed inside against a green screen.
Outside the studio, two large cranes were use to
raise
this full size car carried into the sky so cameras could photograph all
sides including the bottom! All the Times Square footage was
filled
in with computer graphics. The visual effects supervisor was
Robert
Legato who also was the visual effects supervisor for the movie
"Titanic"
