Summary

Lucozade Sport's new campaign created by Grey London demonstrates the sheer intensity and endurance of Olympic athleticism, reverting back to the brand's core roots under the slogan "Faster. Stronger. For Longer".

The campaign is fronted by some the UK's greatest medal hopefuls for 2012; 5k world champion Mo Farah, triple jump hero Phillips Idowu, and star gymnast Louis Smith, with each spot capturing the athlete's physical and emotional journey to sporting success, powered by Lucozade.

The films were shot on the Phantom, Red Epic and Canon 7d, over six days and in three separate locations,  which consequently required a sizeable amount of data wrangling in the initial stages.

Director, Ben Newman did an incredible job in making these three spots feel radically different from your average sports drink commercial.  Pete Rypstra, Lead 2D artist, adds "It's been great working on these spots. Good idea, cracking edits and superbly directed. Ben's healthy obsession with symmetry and his eye for detail meant we had our work cut out for us as far as clean up was concerned. We then added 3D Massive crowds and camera flashes to enhance the atmosphere in various shots".

To add the final touches motion graphics were added by AfterFX duo, Shaun William Leong and Luke Tribe, before Colourist Aubrey Woodiwiss finished the campaign with its gritty grade.
