Edge-of-your-seat action movie excitement is the order of the day in this "Mission Impossible" style piece for Skoda.

We witness a daredevil leaping off a bridge onto the back of a moving train, rapidly ducking as it thunders into a tunnel. We then realise that this seemingly crazed lunatic is a woman in a business suit, clambering around the side of the vehicle and throwing herself through the window. It transpires that the now rather dishevelled woman risked death to get a message to her commuting boss.

The commercial was shot in two locations, LA and Prague. Stunts were performed in LA and background plates were shot in Prague to composite into the moving train shots. The train was actually shot in a studio using a wind machine to give the impression of rapid movement. The Glassworks team were kept very busy: The whole piece was given a cinematic feel by Tareq in telecine, Ruediger built a 3D train in Softimage XSI which was used to extend the real carriage that was shot. Vaclav built the 3D tunnel and Daniel made track furniture and telegraph poles. 3D rain particles were constructed, then carefully composited into the live action in Flame.
