Every shot starts with a single image – AI-generated or photographed – but AI alone cannot keep a hero object clean. Logos warp, panel lines drift, and the car slowly turns into a guess. Training a custom model or building a full Unreal-Engine pipeline (with 3D assets, camera tracking, and AI upscaling) is heavy, expensive, and overkill for most campaigns. Our hybrid workflow solves that: AI creates the racetrack and crowd for energy and motion, while the IndyCar is a fully-controlled 3D model, camera-matched and composited like a film VFX shot. The result is cinematic movement and perfectly accurate branding that off-the-shelf AI simply can’t deliver.
