Scottish Road Safety

A cinema commercial for Scotland directed by Guy Manwaring using one take to show just how easily a driver can be distracted with disastrous results. Finish joined takes and retimed them to make a seamless edit within 40 seconds.

Extra passes of shattering glass were composited in Flame to make the crash more dramatic. Shot entirely from the drivers’ POV we travel down a country road at night going around bends and occasionally passing an oncoming car.

The soundtrack gives all the atmosphere in this commercial, and only when the driver takes his eye off the road for a split second when his friend spills his drink everywhere, swerves and hits an oncoming car, the visuals also kick you in the face.
