American network operator Verizon commissioned director Doug Liman ( Edge Of Tomorrow, Jumper, Chaos Walking ) and VFX studio MPC to create a marketing commercial for its 5G network in this spellbinding spot titled “The Reset”. Check it out below –

The spot demonstrates brilliantly the familiar effects of network lag; glitching, out of sync artifacts and missing objects, characters walking through walls; a bugbear for all gamers alike.

I’ve been a big fan of Doug Liman’s work since The Bourne Identity and he has established himself to be a exciting and highly innovative director whose films often utilize novel visual effects in inventive ways to push the boundaries of the medium and advance storytelling.

Also, the visual effects studio MPC ( The Lion King, Aquaman, Gozilla vs Kong among many many others ) is well known in the VFX industry as a really strong player, so there’s little surprise that they would deliver as well.
