High performance cars demand pedal-to-the-metal advertising, like the spot titled “Thermal” just completed by Director Tim Damon for BMW North America.
Going “Thermal”
The dramatic slow-motion open to “Thermal” quickly segues to the BMW M4 GTS taking off down a test track in sheer performance mode. Tires spinning and smoking, taking hard corners while drifting over hot pavement, “Thermal” is a one minute thrill ride for those lusting for a car built to be driven hard. Inside there’s shots of shifting gears and red-lining instrumentation, outside the viewer is transported through high speed vibration and power slides. Suddenly, there’s a shift, as the spot leaves the track for home. Climbing and cornering, “Thermal” climaxes with a 180 degree spin onto the driveway. Day complete.

Boma | Camp Sugar Brand Identity
Rebel Wilson's Directorial debut “The Deb” premiered as the closing night film at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Adding a touch of creative flair to the film’s debut, the team at Boma helped in crafting the brand identity for Wilson’s production company, Camp Sugar.
“Rebel and her team approached us with this adorable character design and a simple question: ‘Can we make this happen in time for Toronto?’” shares Jason Cohon. “As huge fans of animation, and with such a fantastic concept from Josh and Meredith on Rebel’s team, it was an easy ‘yes!’”
The :05 identity opens in a serene forest scene featuring a hand-carved wooden sign reading “Camp Sugar.” As the camera reveals two hands gently holding the sign, a little girl playfully peeks from behind, inviting the audience into the world of Camp Sugar. Boma was tasked with designing and animating the 3D environment and character, delivering a fully rendered introduction that will serve as a long-lasting signature for Rebel Wilson’s films for years to come.
“We had so much fun making this and hope to be able to do many more unique versions for all of Camp Sugar’s films.”
Based in Los Angeles, Boma was created to fill a need for quicker turnarounds and tighter budgets while maintaining quality at the highest creative level. With a fully remote pipeline, global partnership across three continents and a team of senior creative talent, Boma is equipped to scale projects rapidly, regardless of budget or timeline constraints.
