The commercial is set in the Roman Coliseum. A gladiatorial combat between 3 lady gladiators is about to occur. They come out to chants from the crowd but refuse to fight. They drink Pepsi instead and sing We will rock you by Queen.
The challenge was to recreate the Coliseum and a crowd of 50,000 in the computer. The first 5 rows of the coliseum and associated people were shot for real and the rest is CG.
What made this slightly more difficult than the usual crowd replication scenario was the fact that we were going to be relatively close, at film resolution and with a panning camera creating a fair degree of parallax. We shot about 50 extras against a green screen and with some inhouse software scattered them around the auditorium randomly with random offsets and colour correction. The auditorium itself was built conventionally in the computer with textures from the set and other pictures shot on location in Rome. Final Gathering was used in the rendering of it.

Tres divas juntas
no one spot roger taylor and brian may of Queen in the audience? brilliant
I love that pink walks out looking like she’s actually going to beat someone up
Beyoncé was the best hands down
They look like Amazonians short for Amazon's
Beyonce and Pink and Britney doing the classic queen song.
I would love to see one these big stars in a Broadway production of We will Rock you.
Britney has a such unique and iconic voice.
Here in 2022 I love this so much! Everyone ate! 🔥🔥
Me encanta el color de piel de beyonce
All three girls like me! They very good sing! Like me drinks Pepsi Cola!
BEYONCEEEEEEEE
If Lady Gaga debuted in the same time as them and were included in this commercial, she would rock it.
Those three are some eye candy in those scant clothes… but I definitly wouldnt have it if they were bare naked, over Queen's live version

Brian May and Roger Taylor

Beyoncé- voice, beauty, talent, etc.. the other two nothing. 💅🏻💁🏽♀️💋💋💋
I wish they all would have did a real collaboration
