Last Exit To Nowhere - THE THING
Our goal with this spot was to capture the icy, arctic atmosphere of John Carpenter’s THE THING (1982). We relied heavily on art direction, low-key lighting, and sound design to achieve this effect. Also, it was really cool that we got a dog who could act… or is that an actor in a dog suit? We’ll never tell.
