Dos Equis - Bottle Cap

The Dos Equis Bottle Cap commercial was a masterclass in CG precision and creative problem-solving. From the outset, we knew the potential for multiple macro CG elements was immense, so we meticulously gathered on-set reference material, scanned real bottle caps, and crafted hyper-detailed models. Our texturing was so precise that we even replicated the subtle screen-printed dots on the caps. To bring the scene to life, we simulated the physics of beer flinging off the cap and added an extra layer of realism with foamy spray effects. We were ready for anything—even developing hand-animated R&D tests as a backup in case the practical bottle cap didn’t land perfectly. While that particular shot didn’t make the final cut, it lives on as a testament to our commitment to pushing boundaries and preparing for every possible scenario. This project wasn’t just about getting it right—it was about elevating the art of CG to its fullest potential.
