Fronx Vs Drone | TVC / DVC

Introduction

The “Fronx vs. Drone" project was an ambitious and thrilling endeavor that combined motorsports and drone racing. Our goal was to create a visually stunning film showcasing the Maruti Suzuki Fronx SUV and an FPV drone. Set in the scorching 45-degree heat of Sambhar Lake, this project faced numerous logistical challenges. Yet, through determination and creativity, we delivered a successful and highly praised film.

Our Approach

To tackle the "Fronx vs. Drone" project, we began with extensive research and pre-production planning. Understanding the unique requirements of both the Maruti Suzuki Fronx and the FPV drone, we collaborated closely with engineers and drone pilots. This collaboration ensured that the gymkhana-style course we designed would highlight the capabilities of both vehicles.

We focused on creating large, abstract art installations that would serve as dynamic checkpoints throughout the course. These installations were meticulously planned and coordinated with skilled artists and designers to align with the Drone Racing League aesthetics.

Given the remote and challenging location of Sambhar Lake, we planned every logistical detail to perfection. This included securing safe transportation of equipment, ensuring reliable communication channels, and preparing for the extreme weather conditions. Our crew was well-prepared to handle the 45-degree heat, with measures in place to keep everyone hydrated and comfortable.
