With the sport entering its 75th year, the exciting roar of NASCAR is viscerally portrayed in this snazzy spot from 77 Ventures Creative.
Combining original footage, historical highlights and reenactments, and CGI, Anthem, the first of the three-part Always Forward campaign, recreates some of racing's most memorable moments: from Cale Yarborough scrapping with Bobby and Donnie Allison at the 1979 Daytona 500 through Dale Earnhardt Sr. dumping Bobby Labonte for a Bristol win in 1999 and onto Denny Hamlin inching out Martin Truex Jr. for the 2016 Daytona 500 championship.
Directed by Mark Jenkinson of Imperial Woodpecker over several days in Barstow, CA, the electrifying visuals are enhanced by some terrific sound design by Charles Deenen at Source Sound, accompanied by a rousing score from Aurélien Rubod.
Anthem will be followed in the spring by a Present spot, showcasing the stories of today’s young stars. An imaginative Future spot – focused on the potential that lies ahead – will break later in the summer.
