Shell Advance – brand film transcript

[Background music plays]

Thoughtful, peaceful and positive music plays

[Animated sequence]

The film starts in the morning, as lights slowly comes in between the trees, we see the sight of the

Road is slight blocked by some of the vegetation

[Male Vo]

There it is, life.

[Animated sequence]

We show a diversity of roads that represents life in it’s many forms as motorcycle challenges. Narrow street with lots of people moving unexpectedly. Drive through curved roads.

[Male Vo]

It comes in many forms, many shapes.

[Animated sequence]

From gravel to steel bridge to busy straight urban street, with traffic lights, cars, pedestrians. Many roads that come together.

[Male Vo]

Some believe life is straightforward, complicated.

[Animated sequence]

Busy market alley that require an inventive way of riding to get through the mass. Road with a little puddle overflown on a part of it.

[Male Vo]

Sometimes, impossible.

[Animated sequence]

Sudden deceptive turns, a road underneath another highway that has

potholes everywhere. Slippery roads after rain, A sudden turn to avoid unexpected road participants:

in this case a herd of sheep on the side of the road.

[Male Vo]

Even when it somehow finds a way to give us bumpy rides, slippery patches and surprising twists.

[Animated sequence]

Introducing riders that have the inner courage. They are the ones who take life as is. Rider who dares to face the road upwards

[Male Vo]

There are those who wouldn’t have it any other way.

[Animated sequence]

Rider who dares to have fun on the gravel/mud roads in his passion for riding. Rider who dares to face everyday traffic on challenging road conditions: bridge

[Male Vo]

Because they love to. Because they have to.

[Animated sequence]

Rider who dares to challenge dead-ends. Rider who finds new left at a pothole. Takes a left in a busy road, and a DUCATI takes a right on a racetrack. A rider jumps over a small bridge.

[Male Vo]

Because every dead-end is the perfect excuse to take a new left. A new right. Maybe even up.

[Animated sequence]

Riders’ moments where we show their attitudes toward to road: we show the riders now from the front. As we get closer in on them, we cut through all our different riders.

[Male Vo]

But never, ever a U-turn.

[Background music plays]

The music reaches a high.

Shell’s Technical Partnership with Ducati Corse

Shell and Ducati began their journey together in 1999, with Shell supporting Ducati Corse in the World Superbike Championship, before the two later joined forces to contest the MotoGP World Championship. The partnership is one of the most successful in premier motorcycle racing, with over 150 race wins in total, and seven Riders’ World Titles in MotoGP (2007) and the World Superbike Championship (1999, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008). All race bikes used by the Ducati Corse factory team in MotoGP run on bespoke race formulations of Shell Advance motorcycle oil.

This iconic partnership has since gone on to become one of the most enduring and recognised in the world of premier motorcycle racing.

The technical partnership between the two iconic brands has been a major success both on and off the track, enabling the continued development of Shell Advance motorcycle oil and Shell V-Power performance fuel in the most demanding settings for the benefit of bikers around the world. Also, Ducati not only uses Shell products on the track, but also chooses Shell Advance Ultra motorcycle oil as the first fill for every Ducati road bike that leaves its factory in Bologna, Italy.

The transfer of knowledge gained from the track to Shell product’s for the road is central to the Technical partnership with Ducati, MotoGP provides the most extreme test bed for Shell’s products.
