Monster Energy Advertisement

Mock advertisement I created for Monster Energy Ultra, a popular sugar-free energy drink. Advertisement runs 25 seconds, and features the drink in an arctic, alien planet. Rendered in Blender, Cinema 4D, Unreal Engine, and Adobe After Effects.

The aim of the advertisement was to seamlessly incorporate the product into a visually captivating environment. To emphasize the ice-cold, refreshing quality of the drink, the can is encased in a block of ice, only emerging as the camera zooms in close enough to the planet’s surface.
