Write a short summary of what happens in the film

We see planet earth from outer space. And then zooms quickly in on a mountain top. Chuck Norris sits in a rocking chair. Voiceover: "When the world was in trouble, it called Chuck Norris" Chuck Norris captures carbon by inhaling it. Chuck Norris batteling the rays of the sun. Chuck Norris on top a whale capturing sea wind with a bazooka-like device. And Chuck Norris inside "The Matrix", transforming big data into small digit-like sheeps. Voiceover: "But time has come to pass the torch - Chuck has found his successor - a company called AKER" Chuck Norris sets out on an incredible journey visiting AKERs sustainable key projects around in the world. He rides a moose, he kites through air lifted up by gooseforce. He rides an orca. Before his face turns into the sun. Super: The worlds toughest job awaits - we´ll take it from here, Chuck AKER-logo

Tell the jury about the visual effects and summarise any relevant challenges or techniques.

Every scene in the spot is a combination of live action (talent shot on green screen) and VFX. Most scenes also use a real life background plate, with a few where the entire, scene with the exception of talent, is CGI. Advanced CGI techniques are used, with the goal of being photorealistic in each scene. Given the heavy VFX needs and short timeline for the production there were many challenges. Chief among them was having to split the work up between 7 VFX houses. Syncing the look and feel of the work between the 7 houses was the highest priority, in addition to delivering on time, for this incredibly ambitious production.
