“Ballooning” is one of three 15 second video ads from the new Ride Ready campaign for the Honda Pilot created by RPA and produced by Smuggler. The humorous spot tells the story of a man in a Pilot who offers a ride to a group of men in a hot air ballon who tell him they’re nude, which provides an amusing shot from the Pilot’s rear view camera. The spot was shot with a PanArri 435 camera with anamorphic primo primes and zooms.
