Carril Car
Travel Short

A short film for Carril Agency — one little road-trip car, one big sky, and a whole lot of R&D before we let it drive anywhere.

BRIEF

Carril Agency came to us wanting a short film that felt like the start of every road trip — one small car, one big open sky, and that first stretch of highway where anything feels possible. The brief was simple: make it warm, make it a little funny, and make people want to get in the car.

CONCEPT

Before touching final renders, we locked the world down on paper — storyboarding the beats, sketching the car's personality through its stickers and plates, and building out the "Carril" brand world that would ride along with it.

Four-panel storyboard sketches for the short
Brand sticker sheet: The Carril Way, lightning bolt, and Stand With Ukraine heart
Brand sticker sheet: A Carril Original Production, Carril logo, and Baby on Board
Brand sticker sheet: Keep Calm and Carril On, handshake, and Falling For Us Already

RND

We spent a lot of time in RND, developing a visual style for our short through concept art, moodboarding, asset development, lighting, materials, and animation tests. It was super important to us that we were clear on the visual language before moving into actual production — this was necessary to ensure the smoothest possible production where it mattered most.
