Brief Explanation

The film depicts Hyundai Motor, together with Patrick, the great-grandson of Shackleton, planning and preparing for the Antarctic expedition, and carrying out and completing the expedition. The two-year preparation period for the film included the interviews of the descendants of the original crewmembers, the arctic conditioning training for Patrick and the teammates in Iceland, modification of the commercial SUV, Santa Fe to adapt in the arctic environment, and engraving the names of the crewmembers, and the messages from their descendants on the surface of the vehicle. Despite the cold temperature reaching to negative 30 degrees Celsius, and intense snowstorms and whiteout obstructing the path, Patrick and the team drove 15 to 20 hours a day for thirty days, and not only completed the expedition that has not been fulfilled for the past 100 years, but also achieved to cross the Antarctic in a passenger car for the first time.

Execution

As sincerity was critical, we wanted to shed more light on Shackleton than brand, and created a documentary with on-location shooting in Antarctica. We have conducted research on Antarctic environment for almost two years. To utilize ‘ARRI Alexa Mini’ for the first time in the Antarctic, we have cooperated with ARRI to conduct simulated testing. Much attention was needed to maintain the additional equipment to be prepared environment in Antarctica. The weight and volume was limited, so staffs need to cut off their personal stuffs. Especially, the campaign film portrait 30 days of journey, so as one camera had to be ready at all times, we always had to carry a camera in the truck for at least 12 hours a day. When the camp was set up after the daily schedule, the back-up of the work had to be carried out immediately.
