William Hill wanted to leverage their partnership with the Australian Open to deepen their association with ‘Faster betting’.

From deep in the outback, we sent a tennis ball flying at warp speed across the country to the Australian Open.

And to make it bigger than Ben Hur, we partnered with The Sweet Shop to pair internationally acclaimed director, John S. Park, with a team of the best VFX, animation and post-production experts in the land. 

And some guy named Kanye West on the track.
