ROTG II - New World Order

YT Industries, a globally-operating, innovative, edgy mountain bike brand, are known for their next-level and unique approach to advertising and ROTG II is no exception. The twenty-minute brand film - which launched in conjunction with their new mountain bike, ‘CAPRA’ - was directed by Otto Bathurst of Peaky Blinders fame, with Mads Mikkelson bringing A-list acting prowess.

Impeccable storytelling and impressive production value are supported through seamless craft, with extensive visual effects, CG and colour through Absolute, including a candid, complex transition from man-to-goat which we witness before our very eyes.
