Using a new form of the “projection-mapping” technique, Belgian filmmaker and the director for this shoot, Filip Sterckx, shot on a white-wall set where scenes were both rear-projected and front-projected. The technique took us through a woman’s journey–on both sides of the Atlantic–in one seemingly continuous take, ultimately leading to her buying a home, a deal which could have been scuttled if not for Experian protecting her from identity fraud.
The projection-mapping technique was deployed for its ability to allow characters to walk through big moments of their lives, without ever having to change their physical location. With a treadmill on a rotating platform, the actor appeared to be in several different locations, while remaining in a stationary position on set. During the shoot, there were as many as eight projectors in use at a time, synched to match the movement of the motion-controlled camera.
Production house was HSI. Agency was The Martin Agency.

This trailer promotes Charge Around The Globe, a new adventure docuseries that follows record-breaking traveler Lexie Limitless on an extraordinary journey to circumnavigate the globe in an electric vehicle--traveling over 30,000 kilometers across six continents, all in pursuit of one world record. The three-part series on Prime Video in the U.K. showcases the capabilities of modern electric vehicles while immersing viewers in the numerous experiences and challenges Lexie encounters throughout her journey. As she navigates various challenges throughout her trip, Charge Around the Globe serves as a testament to the spirit of exploration. Ford, Wieden+Kennedy London and WracK teamed on the series.
The documentary aims to address the primary concern hindering many consumers from transitioning to electric: doubts about the range and capability of electric vehicles. As a 120-year-old brand, Ford looked to its past as inspiration for the switch that’s taking place today. Over a century ago, pioneering explorer Aloha Wanderwell set off from Nice at the age of 16 to become the first woman to drive around the world in a Ford Model T. Now, in 2024, we get to see Lexie, the youngest person to visit every country in the world, take to the wheel of the electric Ford Explorer, reinventing that historic journey for a new generation. Along the way, she meets extraordinary people, navigates difficult terrains, and faces the challenges of a constantly evolving charging infrastructure that puts her to the test.
“Charge Around The Globe has been the ultimate test drive for our new electric Ford Explorer. We took on every kind of weather and road condition and dealt with just about every charging scenario. The journey embodies the true... Read More
