PARAMOUNT+ “HAIL PATRICK”

DAVID SHANE // O Positive

From creating an entirely CG environment to managing the complexities of separate shoots across multiple cities, Parliament’s visual effects helped bring “Hail Patrick” to life for Super Bowl LVIII.


This was our third adventure into the eccentric world of the Paramount Mountain and yet another fantastic collaboration with Director David Shane and O Positive.

The commercial was shot entirely on a grey screen stage and brought together a combination of 2D and 3D animation with live-action performances. Beloved animated characters and iconic live-action stars were seamlessly integrated into a fully CG environment. The entire backdrop, including a meticulously sculpted wall, was crafted in 3D to create a dynamic and unpredictable pursuit through a world as eccentric as the story itself.

Managing the live-action elements posed unique challenges; Actors were filmed separately across different times and locations - including Los Angeles, Miami, and New York. Parliament’s VFX team ensured the performances appeared cohesive, as if everyone had shared the same space and energy. In addition to synchronizing live-action performances, Parliament focused on blending animated characters with the live-action world, which required precise compositing and lighting integration to unify the look and feel of the final scenes.
