abstr^ct:groove is proud to introduce the new Yamaha R1 global film.
Developed together with DLV BBDO’s creative team, the film was shot between Japan and Italy.
This time we used many different cameras (Arri Alexa, Sony F55, Red Epic, Red Scarlet, Phantom, Blackmagic, GoPro and an iPhone.), type of lenses (Fujinon Alura, Zeiss Masterprime and Cooke S4) and techniques to capture the idea of symbiosis between superchampion Valentino Rossi and the fastest sport bike available on the market.
We created many in-camera effects and we also had fun experimenting with body projection mapping.
