Mission Studio – MINI mobius from Piotr Karwas on Vimeo.

Venice-based visual effects studio The Mission is celebrating its first anniversary with the launch of a high-powered all-CG :30 spec spot, created for MINI, executed completely in-house.  The kinetic spot features a high-octane race between two sleek MINI sports cars on a futuristic raised highway. The studio also recently worked on three remarkable Super Bowl XLVI spots: two :30 for Bridgestone Tires and a :90 for Samsung.
