Featuring two-time World Cup champion Lindsey Vonn and promoting Under Armour’s flagship ColdGear line, this spot features the grueling “cold abuse simulator” as a testing ground for Lindsey’s skill and the ColdGear technology. To film the action as realistically as possible, we found an authentic factory location in Los Angeles and worked with Lindsey for two days, going full out to capture her performance and the desired atmospheric reality on the set. From there, we added additional details back in to heighten the story’s visual drama via seamless VFX artistry.
