MPC, London, was the VFX house on this spot which opens on a city under siege from an enormous fire-breathing monster. Not to fear, though, because Captain Ice–who gets his superhero power from Vigorsol Ice Gum–comes to the rescue. Rafael Lopez Saubidet of Stink directed for BBH London.

From its role as the go-to car for stuntmen to its appearances alongside music legends and movie stars, the Capri was a symbol of excitement, individuality, and style. The idea took shape when our creative team, Georgina Brisby and Marcelo Duarte, discovered the archive of legendary vintage Capri ads and suggested ‘rewiring’ them. With... Read More
