Putting a new spin on a long-running and successful campaign presents unique challenges, including maintaining tone and creative continuity while bringing a fresh perspective. To help with the launch of the even tougher, smarter and more capable new 2018 Ford F-150, Big Block director Paul Trillo offers an updated spin on a campaign a decade in the running.

Trillo maintained the tone and voice of the original campaign while adding a distinct technical style and kinetic energy that resulted in a new level of excitement. Dynamic camera movement and quick editing brought new vitality to the time-tested Built Ford Tough concept.

Technically challenging camera moves guide the audience through distinct moments transitioning seamlessly through a variety of innovative techniques. While previous spots relied largely on motion-graphics, Trillo’s approach achieved a more authentic feel with custom camera rigs on real locations.
