Subway Super Bowl Vault Experience
The Mill teamed up with Subway to provide a complete visual fx journey to help launch 'The Vault,’ an exclusive menu on the Subway app and Subway.com with five all-new sandwiches created by some of today’s most notable sport stars.
The Mill partnered with experiential agency Momentum Worldwide to craft an eye-popping experience that puts its viewers in the middle of imaginative sandwich worlds.
The Mill collaborated with a crew of musicians, composers, and sound designers at the acclaimed audio house Antfood. They created a sonic journey that was as rich and imaginative as the visuals. The experience features Subway’s new sandwiches in The Vault, created by NFL star athletes Trevor Lawrence and Russell Wilson and narrated by ~ none other than “Beast Mode” sub creator himself, Marshawn Lynch.
The fully immersive experience took place during this year’s Super Bowl activation week as part of the Los Angeles Super Bowl LVI Fan Experience. The Subway Vault included a physical space that featured a large-scale video installation and a seven-channel, 360 audio experience.
“What we created for the Subway Vault Experience takes inspiration from the classic roller coaster and theme park rides, giving its viewers a first-person perspective as they twist, turn, and speed through palm trees, avocados, and an asteroid belt of flying pepperoni."
Dir. Donnie Bauer
The final visuals were rendered with a 360-degree CG camera, allowing for the CG to literally "surround" the viewers while playback was projected across three large-scale LED screens.
