Here's our verdict.Directors can use the Blackbird — which was created by The Mill, a visual effects studio — while filming a car commercial and digitally overlay the exterior of the vehicle being advertised in post-production. The Blackbird's width, length, and suspension are adjustable, so it can stand in for a wide range of vehicles. The Mill also created an augmented-reality app that allows directors to see what the Blackbird's CGI exterior might look like while filming a commercial.“You can set this car up to, say, match an Audi A8 or something, and then you can drive it in real time, and then come back in with CGI and mask a car on top of it in motion,” Shepard said. “The average person would never know that that was a CGI car.”The Blackbird has been used in commercials for the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain, according to The Mill's website. Shepard said the Blackbird is also used for TV shows and movies to replicate expensive cars that would be risky to shoot in some situations.“You're not going to get a McLaren racing through, I don't know, South Central Los Angeles going all over potholes and jumping, but you might be able to do it with this rig without sacrificing a half-million-dollar car,” Shepard said.
