Australian studio Resin launched it's spec spot for the Audi TT.
The commercial was conceived, directed and produced in-house by the Resin team largely as a capability statement.
The spot entitled "Poetry" tracks four of the TT vehicles racing through a roller coaster inspired environment.
The initial concept placed the vehicles racing through a series of tubes that eventually converged to form the four Audi rings.
"Whilst the environment is fictional, we wanted to ensure that the vehicle dynamics behaved realistically when cornering and braking.
We spent time developing a system for overcoming this, essentially building a skeleton for the cars and rigged it in similar way to a 3D character.
This allowed us to animate the car more closely with the real world dynamics of a vehicle."
This was supported with freeform camera movement used to convey the energy and frenetic speed of the vehicles, contrasted with choreographed movements providing a balance of grace and raw energy.
With a diverse portfolio of live action, animated and visual effects projects Resin has worked on numerous high-end commercials and several feature films.

Directv recently aired 2 one-hour specials to re-live the excitement of the Daytona 500.
The race celebrates its 50th Anniversary this year.
Nascar Media Group approached Felix Design to package these highly anticipated shows.
The design team at Felix used beautiful historical stills and vintage racing footage to create the open and look for the first show "The Champions".
The challenge was to portray the grandness and scope of this historical event and to create a look that worked for old and new racing footage.
The open takes the viewer through highlights of the past 5 decades of the famous Daytona 500 race.
Using a combination of live action footage and cut-out photos, every decade had its own color scheme and is introduced with the years numbers.
Multiple layers of footage, photography and typography create a moving collage.
"The Legacy" program consisted of a roundtable discussion of former racing champions, so the open focused on these racers and their achievements.
The visual approach was more of a fast paced sports show open.
Historical racing footage layered with images of the racers as they look today was edited to fast paced music.
A layer of animated typography labeled the drivers.

Digital Kitchen, a leader in experiential marketing, and Target are creating an amazing new visual experience in Dallas' Victory Park, the city's innovative large-scale outdoor digital arts gallery (the largest of its kind in the world).
The experience was also unveiled at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Digital Kitchen worked directly with Target to produce a pair of cool and lively animated videos, both featuring Target imagery and branding.
They will play on eight high-resolution outdoor LED screens that are a permanent part of the Victory Park installation.
The screens, complete with high-fidelity sound and theatrical lighting, move along horizontal tracks and offer a wide variety of configurations and motion possibilities; they can even be combined to form "super screens" - 31 feet tall and 53-feet-wide.
As beautiful and engaging as the videos themselves may be, the environment in which they're playing - and the experience they create as they play - is the true innovation.
"Victory Park is perfect for experiential marketing," says Paul Matthaeus, Chief Creative Officer and Founder of Digital Kitchen.
"Like Times Square in Manhattan or Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles, Victory Park is an immersive video environment."
