Anton Visser’s epic bank robbery with a twist
A menacing gang get more than they bargained for in this gripping game promo for Super Dragon Punch Force.
)
Patriot Films director Anton Visser delivers a masterful exercise in pacing and atmosphere for South African game studio Talent Digital Art and their mobile fight game.
Filmed in Cape Town, the spot follows a group of robbers as they hit a big city bank. Agency Halo had the broad makings of the idea but it was left to Visser to plan the robbery himself.
“The heist only makes it to a certain point, so we needed to front-load the story to give us enough meat to build tension in the edit. We had a lot of fun thinking like bank robbers and planning out the approach and entry.”

It turns out film crews make for good criminals as the carefully rehearsed piece was filmed in just one day.
Visser wanted a confronting and visceral feeling for the film, so stunts and gunfire were done in-camera with Darrell McLean from Hazard Action Stunts and veteran armourer Ian Hatton.
“I also want to commend editor Ricky Boyd from Deliverance Post for the layered sound design and wonderfully menacing tone”, says Visser. “All ‘round I couldn’t have asked for a better team to pull this one off.”
