Blue Spill races ahead in first place, teaming up with Producing Sunshine on an exciting new seven-part episodic docuseries spotlighting 15 female drivers in the 2024 F1 Academy series. This dynamic series offers an exclusive, behind the scenes look into the personal journeys, challenges, and triumphs of each driver.
From the outset, it was crucial that every driver be portrayed with a unique identity. We crafted individual colour palettes for each, expressed through bespoke graphic packages. The visual tone leans into bright, energetic, pop inspired hues – reflecting the speed, style, and high-octane energy of the series. These colours feature prominently across leaderboards, social media content (TikTok & Instagram posts), and on-screen graphics.
To elevate key moments throughout the series, bold location and name straps were employed to deliver visual impact and narrative clarity. Location straps highlighted significant settings – whether linked to a driver’s personal journey or a key race destination – while name straps were used to spotlight individual drivers, often underscoring dynamic montages that captured their passion, personality, and drive.
For the title sting, we were tasked with creating something memorable using B-roll footage of the drivers. The final piece: a striking close up of Bianca’s eyes, leading into a visor pull down reveal of the series title.
Across the project, Blue Spill delivered more than 120 bespoke GFX elements and sequences, leveraging an ACES workflow in Adobe After Effects and Autodesk Flame to ensure top-tier visual consistency and quality.
