MPC Creative Creates Faraday Future Film and VR Experience for CES 2016

MPC Creative, MPC’s content production arm, produced a film and VR experience for CES 2016 highlighting the performance of Faraday Future’s technology platform with hints of first-of-a-kind innovations consumers can expect from their product line in the marketplace. MPC’s work was well received in a week which culminated in FF scoring spots on Top 10 lists for hottest tech product debuts.

The CES film is about a concept car—the FFZERO1 high-performance electric dream car—and the inspiration around Faraday Future’s consumer-based cars. Dan Marsh, creative director of MPC Creative who also directed the FF projects, explained: “We wanted it to feel elemental. Faraday Future is a sophisticated brand that aims for a seamless connection between technology and transportation. There is an enlightened idea behind a clean, simple future, not only the technology but in the way people will use cars in the future. We tried to make the film personal, but natural in the landscape. The car is engineered for the racetrack, but beautiful in the environmental showcase. It lives in the very near future. There is energy and ambition. The performance is fierce but isn’t aggressive. 

“To make the film, we shot a stand-in vehicle to achieve realistic performance driving and camera work,” Marsh continued. “We filmed in Malibu and a performance racetrack over two days, then married those locations together with some matte painting and CG to create a unique place that feels like an aspirational Nürburgring of sorts. We match-moved/tracked the real car that was filmed and replaced it with our CG replica of the Faraday Future racecar to get realistic performance driving. Interior shots were filmed on stage.
