“And so I shambled after, as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me,
because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad
to talk, … read moremad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never
yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman
candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue
centerlight pop and everybody goes ‘Awww!"
Jack Kerouac, On the Road
With this text as voice-over, Hugo Menduiña has directed an commercial for BMW that
is a celebration of the road. The road understood as a metaphor for life, a path
of self-awareness that goes thru the people and experiences that we gather on the
way. When S.C.P.F agency showed the text to Hugo, in fact they were challenging him.
The film should be capable of translating those values into images, each moment of
the ad had to transmit the vitality and optimism typical from a BMW driver.
With this challenge in mind, Hugo and the Agosto’s team throw themselves to the
task of designing a vibrating and action-packed production. The goal was to avoid a
rhetorical exercise of literature, proving with each frame the relevance of a text
wrote more than 50 years ago.
The casting, the music and each of the sequences needed to be direct and
believable for the message to truly connect with the audience. We are talking about
telling a whole road-movie in just 30 seconds.
On the technical side, On the road is the first ad ever being broadcast in High
Definition to the spanish market.
