Mark Jenkinson & Mathematic Hit the Corsa Coaster for Opel

Posted on Thursday, July 2, 2026

The team at Mathematic follow up the animated whimsy of their recent work for Finch with a blast of VFX magic realism in director Mark Jenkinson’s factory-meets-fairground spot for Opel’s Corsa supermini compact hatchback.

Mark Jenkinson: “Building an entire world in CG gave us the freedom to create a factory that could never exist in the real world. The challenge was making that fantasy feel believable.

“The film reimagines automotive manufacturing as a kinetic visual spectacle unfolding across a monumental industrial landscape. The result is a dynamic world where engineering precision meets cinematic imagination, symbolizing innovation, efficiency, and forward-thinking mobility.”
