AI Sport Commercial - Never Lose Your Way

Stepping Into the Future.

Artists & Legends is a hybrid creative agency blending traditional production with GenAI, 3D and Post Production. This AI reel is a proof of concept, demonstrating how we craft high-impact campaigns by merging longstanding production experience with today’s most forward-thinking creative technologies.

Entering the GenAI space has been nothing short of thrilling. As a team of visual storytellers, we saw an opportunity to harness this technology to expand what a creative studio can imagine, build, and deliver.

At a time when advertising teams are expected to create more visually ambitious content - on tighter timelines and leaner budgets - we offer creative solutions that make that possible. Whether it’s designing cinematic locations, solving complex production challenges, or building a diverse, global cast of characters, we do it all with agility, precision, and a focus on impact.

GenAI isn’t here to replace craft - it’s here to amplify it. When combined with experienced creative direction, production ingenuity, and strategic thinking, it becomes a creative engine that unlocks new visual languages and campaign possibilities.

This reel is just the beginning.

If you're ready to explore how a hybrid approach can work for your brand — let’s talk.

 

Whether we start with existing imagery or create new visuals, we build full campaign ecosystems - from hero films and teasers to stills and social edits - all tailored for cross-platform use.

Audi Print Campaign.

Ogilvy SA approached me to produce the 2022 print campaign for Audi South Africa.

I was tasked with casting & capturing a range of images that offer an authentic representation of the South African market, as opposed to using images from Audi Germany. I was also asked to source locations that would show the vehicles’ off-road capabilities, in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Shot by photography duo DNA.

BBC America - The Watch.

I had a lot of fun producing the marketing assets for BBC America for their TV series, The Watch.

Managing 4 sets simultaneously over 2 days.

We were immersed in a dystopian world, looking for the right spaces to capture all the video and print imagery. Spending time with the actors & getting to know their characters was truly a magical experience.

The BBC team also chose to work with three of the DOP’s from Artists & Legends.

Roice Nel directed & shot principle video, with Jonathan Tait on B cam. Nick Burton Moore shot the chroma key assets.

To add to the stature, the print campaign was shot by the very talented and humble Pari Dukovic. Social stills by Hayden Phipps.

Thank you to the BBC team for choosing to work with Artists & Legends!

Production - Cape Town - Artists & Legends - Dorel Juvenile - Maxi Cosi.

Dorel chose to shoot with us again in Cape Town this year and we just love the outcome.

A series of engaging and authentic imagery for a brand that truly cares about their clients.

They are innovators of products that protect children.

Last year we produced the campaign that launched the first baby seat with an airbag.

This year, its an app that reminds you that your child is still in the car.

This might seem unheard of but it is a big issue around the world and Dorel has found a way to ensure the safety of your child, yet again. Here are a few of our favourite visuals.

More commercials on our YouTube Channel.
