The new Aston Martin Vantage has made its global debut with a portfolio of imagery and film by Rankin.To introduce the new Vantage, Rankin brought his talents to a classic tale of rivalry, a portrait of a car born on the track, shaped through racing and a formidable performance heritage. The brief was to capture the new Vantage as the archetypal hunter, imbued with the ethos of 'beautiful won't be tamed' to create a sharply focused sports car with a sense of precision and intensity.Across two shoots, a two-day session at the Atlanta Motorsports Park and a static shoot in Rankin’s Studio, Rankin and his creative team built up a portfolio that captures the true character of the new Vantage. To emphasise the primal, predatory character of the car, the shoot involved bringing a wolf into the studio.The end result captures the raw, animalistic character of this important model, the second car in Aston Martin’s Second Century plan.CreditsDIRECTOR RANKINGLOBAL EXEC PRODUCER NICOLA KENNEYPRODUCTION MANAGER ELERI EVANS1ST AD DANIEL SMITHDOP (UK) ED GIBBSDOP (ATLANTA) TONY MILLERSTEADICAM OP SIMON WOOD2ND UNIT CAMERA OPERATOR REMI LAUDATSTYLIST KIM HOWELLSMAKE UP MARCO ANTONIOHAIR NICK IRWINMANICURIST AMI STREETSCASTGIRL BLUEBELL WOOIBOY OLIVIER GERAGHTYPOST-PRODUCTION PRODUCER ANDREW PATRICKEDITOR GARETH PHILIPSGRADE ALAN MAHONVFX GRANT MCKEANSOUND DESIGN & COMPOSITION FELT MUSICPRODUCTION COMPANY RANKIN FILMAGENCY PRISM
