Description
The Idea was born from the notion of "Assembly Line to Finish Line" - meaning, with minor race adjustments (tires & struts) - that same F150 Raptor that rolls off the lines in Detroit is the same truck that races in the most grueling off road race known to man - The Baja 1000.
Our Idea was to document this process and put the uses up & close and personal with that experience that is Baja 1000 - and that the F150 is indeed BORN to BAJA.
Execution
The first part of the film was shot on a snowy day at the Rogue Plant in Dearborn, Michigan - with the latter film shot over 2 days along the Baja Pennisula in Mexico in November.
Post work began just after Thanksgiving and finished in February of 2017.
The film was launched in social channels w/ Cutdowns, on Youtube - and our iOS/Android Apps.
It also was the first film to lead our foray into the Samsung Gear VR world.
