First Ever Production filmed at Take 2 Studios!
By Take 2 Studios
Salzburg, Austria – 28 Sept 2023
WUGER, a full-service agency
based here in Salzburg, has made history as the very first production to film
at Take 2 Studios! Their latest project – a 90-second Volkswagen commercial
starring the acclaimed Austrian actor Tobias Moretti – required dynamic
night-time driving sequences, which were brought to life through our
tailored virtual production solutions and state-of-the-art LED Volume.
With virtual production, what would have been a logistically challenging outdoor shoot became a controlled, efficient, and creatively freeing experience – all completed in just one remarkable day.
The ambitious shoot required three different vehicles,
including complex scenes featuring a car chase and a scene where a car is
driving down steps. Our controlled virtual production environment provided the
perfect solution, eliminating weather variables, expensive permits and other location
limitations, while offering complete creative control.
The production team fully leveraged our facilities by working across both studios simultaneously: while the LED Volume was reset between vehicle setups, photographer Chris Rogl captured portraits of Moretti in his multiple characters in the Cyclorama.
What made this shoot even more special? It happened before we’d officially opened our doors! For us, it wasn’t just a milestone – it was the perfect validation of everything we’d envisioned for Take 2 Studios. It demonstrated our ability to deliver exceptional results under tight timelines, our team’s problem-solving expertise, and most importantly, the game-changing potential of virtual production for projects of all scales.
Now that this production has wrapped, we are back to organising the final touches for our opening event in October!
