We were honored to work on a public service announcement for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs alongside The Audio\Visual Crew, focused on encouraging veterans to explore mental health treatments available at the VA.

For this spot, we were able to capture five locations within a day - from a battleground to the Grand Canyon - all within the comfort and safety of the studio environment at XR Stage in LA.

Working closely with the director, DP, and production designer, our virtual art department crafted all virtual environments in Unreal Engine and began testing early on, collaborating with our in-house technical team to ensure all scenes were optimized for shoot day.
