NASCAR Next Gen Mustang

What do you do when the client wants to capture footage of an arcade game that doesn’t exist? You call Ganzo to make you a fictional arcade game. Specialty acquired 3 retired arcade cabinets and I redesigned them to fit the Ford’s concept. I designed custom exterior designs using Ford’s archival imagery, and Snazzy Craftwork implemented our designs onto the old cabs. I also produced full 3D video game shots to play on screen to evoke that nostalgia of sipping a cherry pepsi on ice out of a big plastic cup and stomping that rusty squeaky gas pedal on your favorite old sticky arcade game. This one was an absolute hoot to create. Huge props to Snazzy Craftwork for flawlessly executing the designs including a custom raspberry pi set up to play the animations on the prop cabinets, and shoutout Specialty for bringing me on for this project. They captured these practical cabinets perfectly.
