To capture this dynamic graphical world, Syndrome shot Dyrdek against a greenscreen and transposed him over the boarded-out scenes. The idea was to create a video that symbolized the free-flowing thoughts in Rob’s head as they materialized in a stylized fashion, capturing his vivid imagination.

“We had a blast with this one!” noted Syndrome’s Executive Producer Monica Blackburn. “Rob and his crew were great to work with. We were really excited to have this opportunity to showcase Syndrome’s ever-evolving capabilities with such a creatively intense crew on a high-profile new show.” |
Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory, which launched on MTV on Feb. 8, revolves around a fantasy warehouse in Los Angeles loaded with an incredible skate park, a giant skate ramp launching into a foam pit, a basketball court, Dyrdek’s office loaded with his massive collection of skate decks, and “Corpo,” a corporate office on the second floor that houses his lawyer, toy designer, and executives, among others. Dyrdek will include a whole cast of characters, including an SUV named Stormtrooper, a three-wheeled car named T-Rex that can outrace a Ferrari, and, of course, his dogs Meaty and Beefy.

“Syndrome killed the open,” said Rob Dyrdek. “I wanted something that captured the insanity of what we’re doing with this show and they nailed it. From the live action skating, to the funky graphics – it really sets up the kind of Willy-Wonka fun that we have on the show.” |
