The StyleWar directing collective has seen the light for Audi and agency Heimat Berlin. In this spot, which recently broke in Germany, an Audi is seen in a race against the speed of light–in this case sunlight.
As dawn breaks, the camera slices over the automobile, pulling out to reveal a start line divided by night and daylight. Just before the sun hits the car, it takes off through some empty city streets. We see the sun reflected in glass buildings but the Audi always manages to keep one step ahead.
The car then exits the city, maintaining its lead over light. The Audi stops at the peak of a mountain, having actually gained more distance on the sun. The driver then taunts the sun by reaching his arm out of the car window to beckon on his solar competitor. And the challenge continues into the horizon.
“Audi S-Race” was produced via Stink, London, and Tony Petersen Film, Hamburg. Line producer was Mungo McGlachan. The DP was Philippe Lesourd.
Editor was Mark Edinoff of Peepshow, London. Andy McClean produced for Peepshow. Alex Thomas and Dave Ludlum of Framestore-CFC, London, served as online editor/visual effects artist and colorist, respectively. Audio post and music were done at Bauhouse, Berlin.
“Overnight Success” Has Been More Than A Decade In The Making For Meghann Fahy and Eve Hewson
Meghann Fahy and Eve Hewson, two of the stars of Netflix's whodunit "The Perfect Couple," have news for you if you want to call them breakouts: They've been working in this business for more than a decade.
Fahy made her TV debut in 2009 in an episode of "Gossip Girl." Hewson's first big film role was in 2011's "This Must Be the Place." They do concede, however, that it's recent TV roles — "The White Lotus" for Fahy and "Bad Sisters" for Hewson — that have led to new frontiers of opportunity.
Susanne Bier, who directed "The Perfect Couple," says both Fahy and Hewson are "going to be big stars."
"They certainly have proper, profound star quality, Both of them in very different ways," Bier says. "Both are incredibly creative, incredibly smart, and also have a impressive insight as to who they are. You can be a great actor or actress and not necessarily really know who you are yourself. And they do."
Hewson, 33, whose dad is U2 front man Bono, may have grown up in a famous family but she's now in demand in her own right. She will next be seen in a second season of "Bad Sisters, " out in November. She's in Noah Baumbach's next film, alongside Adam Sandler, George Clooney and Riley Keough. She's also been cast in Steven Spielberg's next production and is set to star opposite Murray Bartlett in a racing series for Hulu.
Fahy, 34, is in production on a limited series with Julianne Moore and Milly Alcock called "Sirens," written by Molly Smith Metzler ("Maid") for Netflix. She also has two films in the can with Josh O'Connor ("The Crown," "Challengers") and Brandon Sklenar ("It Ends With Us").
The two actors spoke candidly about this phase of their careers. This interview has been condensed for clarity and... Read More
