Transcript: Shell Advance Asia Talent Cup – Ride On video
The shot opens on a baby in a high chair playing with a toy motorbike. The camera cuts to another babysitting on a bed, with a teddy bear in biker gear next to her. She holds a toy motorbike over her head and falls over on the bed.
We cut to a toddler at home, attempting to get on a skate scooter. The scooter falls and he tumbles over it. An older toddler reaches for the scooter. It cuts to a tight shot of his two feet getting onto the scooter as he goes, “vroom vroom!”
The scene cuts to two young girls at a neighbourhood park. One girl rides a skate scooter going “vroom…”, as the other cheers her on, waving a race flag.
We cut to a high shot of a young boy in a helmet, sitting on a tricycle. He looks up at camera and shouts, “vroom!”
We cut to the same boy, this time with his friend at a park. They race each other on tricycles, both of them going “vroom…”
We cutto a boy trying to walk in his father’s racing boots as he goes, “vroom vroom!”In the blurred foreground, his father cleansa motorbike.
We cut to a wide shot ofthe father sitting him on a motorbike for the first time. The boy is thrilled and lets out a squeal. It cuts to a back shot ofthe father patting the boy on the back.
The voiceover says:
‘Across Asia, there’s a new generation.’
We then see a teenage boy in a racing suit, holding a motorcycle helmet as he walks towards his motorbike. It cuts to a tight, slow-motion shot of him putting on his helmet.
The voiceover says:
‘Born with an ambition,’
We cut to the camera zooming in on the boy’s face, with the helmet now on. He closes his eyes slowly.
The voiceover says:
‘To race.’
The shot of the young boy morphs into an older teenage boy, and he slowly opens his eyes. As his brows furrow, an engine revs and the camera zooms out slightly.
The voiceover says:
‘The best young Asian racers are now perfecting their skills, preparing for the Championship.’
We then see a series of shots:Two teenage boys at a race track turning around to face the camera with serious expressions; a tight shot of a rider’s foot revving the engine; a coach talking to the teenage racer as he prepares to race off; a side shot of him closing his visor; then a wide shot of him riding onto the track.
The voiceover says:
‘Ready to unleash their race potential’
