Wanda Productions from Paris found Vancouver to be the city of choice for their take on the Total Quartz robot commercials. The production team painted the town red with Director Marcus Walter.
The Director Christian Lyngbye said: "I am very happy and proud to inform you all that less then 18 hours after we wrapped our night shoot in Vancouver after 4 incredible shooting days in BC and Vancouver, and less then 3 weeks after the job got confirmed, where we managed to prep and shoot 2 spots, we presented our edit of the BIKE spot and got a very happy approval from the client. This makes me proud and it is all based on the incredible and dedicated engagement from all of you people that made it happen. We improvised, we changed our minds and directions various times, but I never felt anyone was not part of the struggle. It is funny we now have a spot that consists of more then half the scenes that was never storyboarded but the agency and client felt the spirit we carried on the set and trusted us. Unusual in our business today."!
