Ducati Brand Film

I built a Ducati commercial around a Robert Frost poem. Not the obvious choice for a motorcycle ad, but that was the point. Instead of the usual speed-and-adrenaline approach, I wanted to tell a performance story through contrast: the quiet of the road, the weight of a decision, the freedom of choosing the less-traveled path.

The edit pairs cinematic motorcycle footage with a voiceover reading of "The Road Not Taken." I paced the cuts to match the rhythm of the poem, letting each line land before the next visual hits. The color grade leans into deep, moody tones that make the Ducati feel like it belongs in the landscape rather than dominating it.

Sound design was minimal and intentional: engine rumble, wind, and the voice. No music bed competing for attention. The poem does the emotional heavy lifting while the visuals do the brand work.

A brand film that stands apart from typical motorcycle advertising. It positions Ducati as a brand for people who think differently about performance, not just speed. The edit works as a standalone piece and as a social-first brand moment.
