CAVU and DreamCraft Attractions The Twilight Saga: Midnight Ride

Midnight Ride™ was a recipient of the 27th annual Thea awards hosted by the Themed Entertainment Association.

This action packed hyper-reality VR experience set in the world of The Twilight Saga™ is a custom ride system co-developed between Dreamcraft Attractions and CAVU. Midnight Ride™ takes guests on a VR motorcycle thrill ride with Jacob and the Wolf Pack. Guests each individually control their own real-world motorcycle, that is fully replicated in the VR world, as they jump and chase through a moonlit Pacific Northwest setting. Vampires are on the prowl, and guests need to help draw them out for the Wolf Pack to regain control of the town of Forks.

This revolutionary attraction is a collaboration between CAVU’s ride systems engineering talent, DreamCraft Attractions’ technical prowess, Framestore’s media expertise and Thinkwell Group’s creative and production leadership.

Midnight Ride™ combines the latest in VR technology with user controlled motion bases, force feedback actuators, physical engine haptics and wind effects to fully immerse guests into the setting of the Twilight™ franchise. Guests are fully embodied as avatars and placed together in the experience with their friends and family for an unforgettable attraction. Branching paths and choices that will have them returning again and again to “ride with the pack”.

Alpine A390 - The Anomaly

Alpine A390 - The Anomaly

Six months after its first appearance in Alpine’s 70th anniversary film, the A390 takes centre stage in “The Anomaly”, imagined by Maison BETC for the launch of Alpine’s first 100% electric sport fastback.

Directed by Nicolai Fuglsig and produced by Wanda, the film explores a dystopian future where automation has erased freedom, until one woman takes back the wheel of the Alpine A390. Her act of rebellion restores emotion, agility and the pure pleasure of driving that have defined Alpine for over 70 years.

Blending live action and CGI and set to Fauré’s Requiem, the film celebrates driving in the electric era. The Mill crafted and supervised all VFX on the project. A campaign driven by ambition and emotion, created entirely by our artists through a fully hands on and deeply human creative process, without the use of generative AI.

The Mill - Publicis Lion

A century in motion. For Publicis Groupe, our 3D and VFX teams built a visual story of resilience, evolution and reinvention.

At the center stands the Lion, the main character of the campaign.

The Mill, experts in CG animals, shaped every stage of the process, from modeling, rigging and skeletal structure to musculature, posture and fur, using traditional VFX techniques to give the lion presence, attitude and credibility on screen, before collaborating seamlessly with Prodigious on the wider campaign delivery
