Kia Rio – First Car Experience

Client: Breathe
Brand: Kia
Director: Petr Hastík
Studio: Cinesco / Skymaker

Challenge
The agency brief was clear: introduce Kia’s entry-level car to young people as the perfect first vehicle. The car should be presented as fun, colorful, and full of energy. However, the client faced one major limitation — they were unable to organize a traditional shoot with actors, sets, or locations.

Solution

Instead of compromising, we turned this limitation into an opportunity. Our team proposed creating the entire commercial fully in 3D, with no live-action shooting at all. This gave us full creative freedom to design environments, moods, and visuals unrestricted by production logistics.

Execution

  • Designed and animated the Kia in vibrant, stylized 3D worlds.
  • Focused on youthful energy through bold colors, dynamic camera moves, and playful environments.
  • Crafted each scene to reflect the excitement of owning your first car.
  • Used cutting-edge CGI and AI-supported workflows to accelerate production while maintaining high visual quality.
