‘Moving’ To Metro
June 14, 2012 by Screenmag
Capturing the intensity of mixed martial arts are the focus of a campaign for Metro PCS in honor of the cellular company’s exclusive sponsorship of Ultimate Fighting Championship.
The spots, directed by Directorz Jeff Bednarz for agency The Richards Group, exhibit a powerful beauty in motion intrinsic to the highest level of athleticism.
To capture the portraits of physical determination and near balletic movement, Bednarz employed the use of ultra high speed shooting using the Phantom and EPIC, coupled with the intimacy of the Canon 5D.
The campaign is now airing and can also be seen on YouTube, various online site and channels as well as via Metrovision -- MetroPCS’ in store network.
