Bowers & Wilkins feat. BMW – Is this real?

Bowers & Wilkins feat. BMW – Is this real?

Fasttrack – Straight to the point

Two premium brands, one shared vision: an audiovisual experience that merges emotion and technology. The “Is this real?” is not a mistake. It is the goal.

  • Visual worlds that classical production cannot achieve: Full CGI and Unreal Engine enable visual ambition without location, without weather, without physical boundaries.

  • The "Is this real?" as art direction: Deliberately blurring the line between real and artificial is not a technical gimmick. It is a brand decision that emotionally charges both premium brands.

  • Produced once, highly reusable: CGI assets are not used up after one application. They can be adapted for further campaigns, formats, and markets.

  • Virtual production as production infrastructure: Anyone who invests in CGI visual worlds builds up a resource. Every new campaign makes the system more valuable.

Challenge

Bowers & Wilkins and BMW wanted to jointly create a visual language that emotionally charges both brands and deliberately blurs the line between real and artificial. Classic production could not have achieved this, neither in terms of visual language nor efficiency. What was needed was an implementation that combines technical excellence with creative ambition.

What we did

What we did

Inventive handled motion capture and virtual production for the Bowers & Wilkins x BMW brand film Full CGI, Unreal Engine, under the creative leadership of SAY MAHALO.

Under the creative lead of SAY MAHALO, Inventive took over motion capture and virtual production for the brand film. Full CGI, Unreal Engine, a fully composed audiovisual concept. An avatar level that deliberately blurs the line between real and artificial. The "Is this real?" is not a mistake, but part of the art direction.

Result

  • High-end motion capture and virtual production

  • Visual language that emotionally charges both brands

  • Technical reference for virtual production in the premium segment

Added Value & Context

Added Value & Context

Virtual Production is the most efficient way to produce visually ambitious content that conventional production cannot achieve.

Those who want to translate their brand into visual worlds that classical production cannot achieve get an infrastructure that scales with Motion Capture and Unreal Engine. From brand film to product launch, from one brand to many. Broadcaster logic also applies here: invest once in a production infrastructure, exploit it multiple times. CGI assets do not age; they grow with the brand.
