OPET, the “Official Road Companion of the National Team”, is now on the Screen

The 2nd commercial film by OPET featuring Arda Turan, the national footballer, premiered on the 29th of May

The commercial film contains support messages for our Senior National Football Team that will compete in the Euro 2016 along with the motto of “If it is a national matter, we‘re all the national team. 78 million people become one and we demonstrate our energy. Come on national team! Turkey and OPET will stand by you in the path to the cup!”

The 2nd film is also airing now following the first commercial film shot with Arda Turan, the player of the Senior National Football Team, for OPET’s 2016 corporate image campaign. The commercial featuring entitled “The Missed Bus” contains supporting messages of OPET, the Official Fuel Supplier of the National Teams of the Turkish Football Federation, for the National Team in its path to the European Cup. The commercial getting across the energy of OPET across viewers along with sympathetic attitudes of Arda Turan tells us about what Arda Turan goes through trying to catch the national team bus carrying his team mates with a humorous language.

The film starts with a scene where Arda Turan spends just a little too much time at the restroom of OPET misses the national team bus. Arda Turan, first, hops on the car of a auntie who has just refueled at OPET, then at a motorcycle of a passer-by and, finally, gets in a van full of Fenerbahçe supporters and catches the bus carrying his team mates. In the film telling us how the entire nation becomes one at national match times, supporters of all teams see off Arda Turan and the entire national team that will represent our nation at Euro 2016.

It took 4 days in total to complete shootings for the commercial which took place at different neighborhoods of Istanbul with a team composed of 80 persons. During the shooting, a team of stand-ins was ready for some tough acts. A safe environment was made possible by stopping normal traffic on certain roads according to a special permit, especially for car scenes.
