Suzuki
Melbourne Storm TVC
A Suzuki TVC made with Deloitte Digital, starring three Melbourne Storm players. This enduring romantic tale between The Melbourne Storm and Suzuki took place on a brisk winter afternoon along Sandringham beach. Filming with talent who aren't trained actors can often be a huge challenge, but Storm players Tui, Josh and Bronson brought their A-game, nailing gag after gag. Shot on two Arri Alexa cameras on the beach deep into 'golden hour'. A shoot filled with a fun challenge or two that definitely paid off.
The creative was kept deliberately simple so it played to the players' strengths as footballers, not actors. Because Suzuki sponsors the whole team, the three players needed roughly equal time on screen so no one read as an ambassador, and the schedule was built around their limited time on set. Sandringham kept the location close to the city, and the shoot went ahead on 24 May 2023 with Steadicam on the sand.
