Mercedes Facts

«Land. Sea. Air.» initiative, emphasizes the automotive giant's steadfast commitment to sustainability. Aiming to drastically reduce the environmental footprint within their operations and productions, the ambitious project is divided into three key areas—land, sea, and air. Intent is to integrate recycled materials into the vehicles and decrease oceanic plastic waste. The «air» strategy aspires towards an electrified fleet by 2030.

This initiative underscores the critical role corporations can play in environmental stewardship, reinforcing the belief that the path to economic growth and environmental conservation are not mutually exclusive. In the face of escalating climate change and environmental degradation, corporations are now being compelled to evolve beyond their traditional roles of profit-making entities.

Guided by Manuel Carvalho and the Antony creative agency, we embarked on a journey to exemplify Mercedes's robust commitment to planet conservation. Through the use of generative and simulation techniques, we breathed life into elements of wind, rocks, electricity, and water, creating a series of visually dynamic video loops—social media content that encapsulated Mercedes Benz's sustainable vision.

As we embraced the project, we delved into an exploration of visually articulating concepts like electricity, carbon dioxide, wind, and more.

With SideFX Houdini as our canvas, we manipulated the palette of generative and simulation techniques at our disposal, nurturing uncultivated ideas into captivating visuals that spoke the silent language of these elemental concepts.

Each artwork is a proud testament to our craft and a love letter to the artistry of Houdini.
