The Italian’s Rhythmic Gymnastics Team stars in the new Fastweb commercial
After 3 years of shooting together, BRW Filmland, Mendips Productions with Sebastien Grousset and Pancho Alcaine as director and DOP of the last Fastweb commercials in Bulgaria, Israel, Tokio and Spain, the brand chose Barcelona as the location for its next spot, starred by the Italian Team of Artistic Gym for the Tokio 2020 Olympycs.
The 8 top-level professional athletes traveled from Italy to Barcelona and had only available one day and a half to shoot, due to their strict routine of training.
The first day the team shoot the choreography that the gymnasts had previously trained with the director. It took place in a Montjuic’s Pavillion, location choosed by the director Sebastien Grousset, with a special gymnastics wood track, imported from Valencia and the Basque Country that had to be tested and approved by the Italian Team.
The athletes wore tailor made costumes and the stylist, had to listen to their instructions to replicate the hairstyles and makeup that they need to wear for everything to be precise and perfect.
On the second day, the scenes had to show the day to day of the girls, so Mendips and BRW Filmland scouted for locations in Barcelona, at the beach, in a flat and in a bus.
Both the advertising agencies, Take and Connexia, and the client, were very happy with the shoot and the result. A huge thank you to all the team involved!
