Michelob ULTRA "The ULTRA Hustle"
Case Study

"It was a pleasure to work with Stacy Wall and the WK team to build out the Michelob Ultra Super Bowl spot this year. The majority of the VFX work was auditioning different locations across America for our hustlers to visit using a combination of CG sets and digital matte paintings. Catherine and Willem did most of their stunts for real though, don't let them challenge you to a game."

Creative Director, Jimmy Bullard
