Case Study

General Tire.

ROLE: Color grading, Rig Removal, VFX, Animation and Compositing.

General Tire is an American tire manufacturer and conglomerate with holdings in tires, rubber compounds, rocketry and aeronautics, entertainment and news, and real estate.

I collaborated with Bruce Dorn and CRAF2M to produce custom scripted content for General Tire. Our work included creating engaging web videos and a series of 30-second TV spots for both regional and national audiences. This project was a direct result of our successful and ongoing partnership with Continental Tire.

General Tire TV Commercials

For this project, I had the opportunity to work on a series of five dynamic TV commercials for General Tire, each highlighting the brand’s commitment to performance, durability, and innovation. My roles in these commercials encompassed color grading, rig removal, visual effects (VFX), animation, and compositing.

Color Grading: I meticulously enhanced the visual aesthetics of each commercial, ensuring a vibrant and consistent color palette that aligned with General Tire’s brand identity. This process involved adjusting colors, contrast, and brightness to create a compelling visual narrative that resonated with the target audience.

Rig Removal: Utilizing advanced techniques, I seamlessly removed any visible rigs and supports used during the filming process. This task was crucial in maintaining the authenticity and professional quality of the final product, ensuring a polished and unobstructed viewing experience.

VFX: I integrated sophisticated visual effects to enhance the storytelling and visual appeal of the commercials. From simulating environmental elements to adding dynamic effects, my VFX work contributed to creating an immersive and engaging experience for viewers.

Animation: I developed and incorporated animations that added an extra layer of excitement and clarity to the commercials. These animations highlighted key features and benefits of General Tire’s products, making the information more accessible and engaging for the audience.

Compositing: Bringing all the elements together, I expertly composited the footage, animations, and visual effects to create cohesive and visually stunning commercials. This process involved layering various visual components to ensure seamless integration and a high-quality final product.

These five commercials were a testament to my technical skills and creative vision, successfully conveying General Tire’s brand message through high-quality, visually captivating content.
