The Brief:

On the heels of his feature film debut with Anonymous Content-produced 44-Inch Chest, Director Malcolm Venville has released a beautiful spot promoting Turn 10 Studio's Forza Motorsport 3. The spot, created by and finished in close collaboration with T.A.G. SF, is the latest installment in the popular line of videogames for Xbox 360.

An Open Door, which will be released as both a :30 and :60, conveys the racing simulator's hardcore car culture through dramatic shots of some of the world's most notorious racing machines transposed against wind tunnels, workshops, or scenes of tremendous natural beauty. Varied and shifting lighting speak to the game's astounding variety, as the races take place all over the world, in all sorts of weather and light conditions.
