Ray of Darkness

December 14, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Advertising, Motioncollector, 2015

A fluorescent energy is coming to earth on two wheels: it’s the new Yamaha MT-10 directed by Abstract Groove team

"Imagining a new exciting ride on the MT10 we explored once again ‘The Dark Side of Japan’, this time visualizing a trippy dimension inspired by 70's low-fi Japanese science fiction movies. But we also enjoyed sampling little elements from some dream-like cinema that we love… (from old classics like Kubrick’s 2001 - A Space Odyssey to more recent visions like Under my Skin by Jonathan Glazer.)"

Luigi Pane - Abstract Groove director
