IDEA:

The coronavirus changed many things, and among those things, launch campaigns with a huge press herd and test-drives were out of the question. Honda wanted a launch campaign that was within the "social distance" understanding.
Two car fanatics/bloggers were invited and they tested the new Honda Type-R.

STORYBOARD:

Those three fames of the storyboard where calculated to show the new details of the new Honda Civic Type-R.

SET:

It's always difficult to shoot high performance cars, depending on weather, sun, driver; and it is more difficult to shoot on a professional racetrack due the security measures and limited space for movement. There are a lot of procedures including requesting permission to get on track every single time. There are certain locations for the film crew, you are not allowed to place a person on a racetrack; there has to be a barricade between the film crew and the car on track.
Limited time for filming is the cherry on top. Our crew was allowed to enter the premises at 9:00 am and our crew had to leave at 6:00 pm sharp, with losing 2 hours because midday it was a very tight time-schedule.

BACKSTAGE:

The film was shot in one day at racetrack Istanbul Park. The shoot started with the paddock scene and our lighting crew created a dramatic and mysterious atmosphere for the beauty shots. After midday the scenes on the start-finish line were shot with the drivers. Short after that our crew started shooting the russian arm scenes on track. At the end of day, our crew returned to the start - finish line and the packshot was created.
