Working alongside Lair NYC, we developed AI-driven transitions background plates for the Fox News 2026 Midterm Elections coverage promotional video.
One key moment in the spot follows two American voters standing together in front of the Capitol building. Through a seamless AI-generated move, the camera carries them through the Capitol doors and inside the building, arriving at a wide reveal of the House Chamber.
A second sequence presented a different challenge. The Fox News anchors were shot in the studio against chroma key, with a crane executing a combined dolly-in and pedestal-up move that pushes through the group. We generated an AI background plate, a golden-hour wide shot of the Lincoln Memorial and its Reflecting Pool with a gathered crowd, then animated it to precisely match the perspective shift and momentum of the
studio crane move.
The compositing included full feet-to-ground contact, ensuring each presenter sits convincingly on the plaza surface throughout the motion, with the real and AI camera timing locked frame for frame, fully executed by us at Odd Global together with our specialised collaborators.
