I just saw a commercial for a Toyota Camry that “appears” to have been shoot in LA with completed deserted freeways. I mean there wasn’t another car on the road expect for the bright red camry. It looked very realistic to me.
Given that video techical wizards can fake just about anything these days, and that LA freeways are never 100% free of vehicles, is this a total fake out? Would they have used models, blue screens, and other standard techniques? I’m always amazed whenever I see it.
They very well could’ve used a technique similar to this. Essentially, taking lots of pictures of the road with cars on it, and assmbling the “empty” pieces of the road surface from all the photographs into a picture of the road surface completely empty.
