Based on this ambitious film for Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi and their new SU7 Ultra EV supercar, we suggest adding Shanghai’s Opalus Studio to your watch list of up and coming CG motion design and VFX talent.

From Opalus Studio: “This film is a new challenge for us in the production process by integrating live-action footage with various visual effects tools such as Cinema 4D and Unreal Engine. The film is designed to showcase the emotional value of striving, perseverance, and moving forward relentlessly.”

For car nerds: Xiaomi entered the car business earlier this year with its first model the SU7 designed to compete with the Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S. This upgraded model is rated at 1,517 HP and requires potential owners to pass a special drivers test to buy it.
