VFX Supervisor/Lead Compositor Sean Devereaux of Asylum has created the CGI for a thrilling, yet humorous :60 spot titled DEMON CARTS, directed by Geordie Stephens of Tool of North America.
It's Stephen King's CHRISTINE revisited with a twist, as the spot opens on several "evil" shopping carts with minds of their own. The rogue carts meander a parking lot amongst their slain victims; over-turned smoking cars powerless to their unfaltering assailants. The slick maneuvering of the Mini Cooper, however, is unrivaled by the carts as they are unable to strike their nemesis.
