ESPN + DUNE FOR TNF

Wyser Media embarked on an unforgettable collaboration with ESPN for their feature film DUNE integration into Thursday Night Football. This shoot was truly one for the books, as we journeyed out to the vast sand dunes located just under three hours from Salt Lake City, transforming Utah's landscapes into the iconic world of Arrakis.

To achieve the mesmerizing atmospheric effects seen in this short ad, we deployed three massive rotary fans, managed by an extensive effects team. Recreating the desert planet's signature look also required our large grip team to block out the sun numerous times, meticulously controlling the light. Adding to the logistical challenge, we utilized numerous side-by-sides to transport our crew across the expansive, shifting sands, ensuring every element came together seamlessly for a truly epic result.
