Behind the scenes: lights, camera, cold!
The crew. The cast. The thermal pants. Making our latest fuel rewards ad was certainly a night to remember.
On a chilly Tuesday night in Sandy Bay, a hardy crew of locals gathered at Ampol to film our latest fuel rewards commercial. From 7pm to 5am, with temps dipping to 7 degrees, our team brought the concept to life with laughs, lollies and 12 pairs of thermal pants.
Director Andy Scott summed it up: “With a tight schedule and a tighter-knit crew, the RACT shoot couldn’t have gone smoother. By 5am we were spent, but it was one for the memory books.”
The ad is now live across Tassie – and yes, the jingle might still be stuck in our heads.
