NEXODUS delivered a full end-to-end VFX solution for Raining Cats and Dogs, Trico’s playful commercial celebrating its century-long legacy. Partnering with ArtClass Content and director Paul Trillo, NEXODUS blended live-action footage with photoreal CG animals to create the illusion of a downpour of cats and dogs. From on-set supervision to advanced crowd simulations and compositing, every shot became a VFX shot, seamlessly integrating practical effects with digital artistry. Built entirely on NEXODUS’ cloud-based platform, the project stayed on schedule and within budget, culminating in a visually stunning and comedic final piece.
