Christmas magic by Dr MC Engstrom production. The footage was shot in fall, in a Disney backlot out in the desert not far from Los Angeles in 40C heat. Syndicate was awarded the challenging task together with a set designer and practical snow team. The mission was to turn LA hot desert suburb backlot into a snowy Christmas wonderland. The assignment came with the added twist of a giant CG snow ball crashing through the scenes, in a somewhat friendly way.
