Director David Gaddie of production company The Colony recently lensed
a spot for Coke’s new ‘Mother’ beverage. With the target market being
everyday ‘blokes,’ the spot takes place in “Motherland” - a place that
celebrates sizzling steaks, epic explosions, and shooting guns with
abandon. Gaddie lensed the footage on location at an old rail yard in
Sydney Australia using built set pieces that were later enhanced in
post production. The explosions are all real and in-camera though -
The Colony loves pyro! Second unit was shot in Coney Island, New York
and LA theme parks.
