This was the endeavor The Mill undertook to create 'Accuracy.' From the concept, worked over with BBDO, to the shooting of live action elements and creating the CG environment's moving parts, down to the design of the arrows, the artists poured their creativity and talent into every corner of each frame. Director, Adam Grint "This was a fun spot to be a part of - it was an all hands on deck affair and an entirely Mill production from start to finish which is something to be proud of. We prevized the spot and used a techno dolly to get to those positions quickly on set. It was a bit of a military operation in terms of the shoot, as was the CG and comping side which was pretty tight." The heavy and ultra modern feel was discussed and designed in great detail. Designer and director Bowe King on the spot "This is exactly the type of job I love to bring to life. We saw the potential for a piece that would have a strong cinematic look, an evocative narrative, a unique sci-fi style and if executed well a slick production value. We worked with one of the leading concept artists in the industry to design the environment from the tiniest minutia of the fan blades to the grandiosity of the industrial complex. Simultaneously we had a talented costume artist who created a custom suit of industrial futuristic armor for our heroine, with every inch of detail thought out."

Metaphorical of their hard - and often solitary - training routines, the environments had to look hostile and imposing Half imagined and half real, the idea was to use the environment as the opposing character in the story of each athlete. A big design challenge for the films was to find the right balance of reality and imagination and set the right tone. Even though it was the middle of summer in Montreal, the spots were shot on location, giving it better framing reference for the final VFX backgrounds, and more realistic lighting for the talent and in camera elements. For the most part, the weather cooperated, with overcast clouds providing the flat lighting that was needed.
