Cut + Run Editor Andy McGraw recently completed a global spot for Audi through BBH London which is currently airing in the UK and will soon launch in the US. Directed by the ever- innovative Paul Hunter, the commercial is a stylized, choreographed merging of man and machine and the embodiment of human engineering.
Cut to a rhythmic track that includes actual Audi RS6 sounds recorded at a racetrack, "Gymnasts," features a cadre of gymnasts twisting, twirling and moving with precision. It is homage to the RS6's powerful engineering that demands "performance from every part."
"It was an honor to cut for Paul Hunter and an exciting project for many reasons, "says editor McGraw. "It required a combination of cutting to music and accurate comping of multiple layers to get exact timings. It's a great example of how all of the production and post elements come together with powerful effect."
Well, it's no Cillit Bang, but the audio of the mom at the end of this short spot is quite dandy.
