Seleção da Alemanha estrela novo filme da Mercedes

Patrocinadora oficial da Seleção da Alemanha, a Mercedes resolveu aproveitar a proximidade com a Copa do Mundo FIFA 2014 para colocar os jogadores como estrelas de seu novo comercial, produzido pela Tempo Media e com VFX/pós-produção do The Mill. A criação é da Jung von Matt/Neckar.

Para variar, é preciso destacar o trabalho da equipe do The Mill, que recriou alguns cenários conhecidos e garantiu um filme bonito e sem emendas. Vale o play.
