In January, Carisma worked with Sony Pictures Studios to imagine and then execute a bus wrap that would "really push the limits." Carisma used their Okidata ColorPainter M-64s to image 1000 square feet of 3M Controltac Changeable Graphic Film with Comply Adhesive IJ3552C for the base wrap and 400 square feet of 3M Scotchcal Translucent Graphic Film IJ63-20 for wrapping additional embellishments printed on a Massivit 1800 3D printer. BIG PICTURE June/July 2018 work for us. The Massivit has allowed us to add 3D on the sides of buses and bring our large-format digital prints to life. 20 WE'VE COVERED SOME PRETTY COOL CARISMA BUS WRAPS. (SEE WRAPS THROUGHOUT THIS FEATURE, PG. 19 IN OUR NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2016 VEHICLE WRAPS FEATURE, AND PG. 8 OF OUR NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2014 ISSUE.) WHAT'S BEEN YOUR FAVORITE SO FAR? That's like asking a father who their favorite child is. I can't answer that. Each job we do gets the same level of attention as the next. We have become successful by treating every client as our favorite. Peter Rabbit [above] was a fun project that allowed us to incorporate almost all of our bus embellishment techniques on one canvas. Peter himself was created with a mix of 3D-printed elements, CNC-routed elements, and was completely illuminated. In addition, each of the 3D carrots that protruded from both sides of the bus were embellished with "real" silk carrot greens. No detail was left unaddressed. ALL PROJECTS HAVE UNIQUE HURDLES. CAN YOU DESCRIBE A PAST PROJECT THAT HAD SPECIFIC CHALLENGES AND HOW CARISMA OVERCAME THOSE ISSUES? Carisma has a reputation for always pushing the limits and never saying something cannot be done. Everything can be done - it's just a matter of how. As we push the embellishments on the double-decker buses to the next limit (no limit is ever final), we consistently run into issues that require our team to come out of their comfort zones. We do a ton of research and development in our shop. There's no such thing as failure or wasting time; everything is a learning experience. I'm lucky enough to have surrounded myself with a core team
