I know it sounds a bit crazy, but I have this vision of filming a car commercial in Venice. The idea is to juxtapose the modernity and sleekness of a car with the ancient beauty and unique environment of the city. I know that realistically driving a car through Venice is impossible, but I’m trying to brainstorm creative ways to make this concept work. Perhaps showcasing the car on a barge navigating the canals, or using CGI to seamlessly integrate it into key locations.

What are the major logistical hurdles I would face trying to pull something like this off? What kind of permits would be required for filming on the canals with a large-scale production? Are there specific locations that might be more amenable to this type of shoot? Are there even barges big enough for something like this? I would like to explore if there are legal liabilities with trying this. Any advice on production techniques, special effects considerations, or alternative approaches that would make this idea feasible would be greatly appreciated!
