Darwin Motocross 2015 Thumper Series TV Commercial

Darwin Motocross has started it's season off with the Darwin Motor cycle Club's 2015 television advertising campaign for their Thumper Series.  The series is the biggest motocross event on the DMCC calendar so when we were asked if it was possible to get a TVC out to air in under a week before their first round, we had to do some very quick calculations ... and luckily the answer was YES.

Ordinarily I'd be able to spend a little more time on animations and all the pretty bits to make the TVC a little more memorable, but given the short turnaround required, some creative premade AE templating (thanks Pond5), our speed dial access to the super fast voiceover guru Wayne Cottle who we use for a number of commercials, and the fact that +Edmund Forman  and I keep a huge archive of motor sports footage on file saved the day.

Thank goodness for large disk storage solutions, they've proved to be more than their worth of easy storage and quick file access for situations just like this when we don't have time to gather footage for event advertising.  We make sure to archive decent footage from events we film at during the motor sports seasons up here as you never know when stock video might come in handy.

If you are local or visiting Darwin during the series you should got take a peek!  Plenty of dirt action for those that love their motocross, and the DMCC host a great crowd of both fans and families at their events.
