To capture the true spirit of the Mad Max adventure—which, naturally, requires high speed, a lot of dust, and zero phone signal—we took our entire crew (and a very understanding boat captain) out to a remote, very unpopulated island just off the coast.
To get the perfect dramatic shot, the team was strategically (and quite purposefully!) deposited on a desolate stretch of beach with nothing but our camera gear, a drone, and enough bottled water to last exactly one scorching midday. We like to call it “Method Filmmaking.”
Also, we still looking for our standard radio kit, which was borrowed, but not returned yet, so we needed to use something more girly but significantly less range (the boss`s girls walkie walkie-talkies)
For a few tense hours, the crew felt the true meaning of the word isolation, relying on sheer will and a few emergency high-protein bars. We’re happy to report that the boat returned exactly on schedule to retrieve its brave, slightly-sunburnt, and very sandy passengers!
The footage is epic, the adrenaline was high, and the final ad will be pure, unadulterated Brisbane adventure. Keep an eye out for it—it’s going to make you want to get very, very far away from the office.
