High performance cars demand pedal-to-the-metal advertising, like the spot titled “Thermal” just completed by Director Tim Damon for BMW North America.
Going “Thermal”
The dramatic slow-motion open to “Thermal” quickly segues to the BMW M4 GTS taking off down a test track in sheer performance mode. Tires spinning and smoking, taking hard corners while drifting over hot pavement, “Thermal” is a one minute thrill ride for those lusting for a car built to be driven hard. Inside there’s shots of shifting gears and red-lining instrumentation, outside the viewer is transported through high speed vibration and power slides. Suddenly, there’s a shift, as the spot leaves the track for home. Climbing and cornering, “Thermal” climaxes with a 180 degree spin onto the driveway. Day complete.
