Studio Republic captures every breathtaking moment of the inaugural Rogue Rally

After a year of planning, the 16th of June 2013 signalled the start of an epic journey. Production House, Studio Republic, was there as 53 supercars began a 3000km adventure, over seven days, across South Africa.

The maiden Rogue Rally was not only a resounding a success but was also methodically filmed and edited by the Studio Republic team. With a nine-member crew, three HD cameras, 15 GoPro cameras, five handy cams and a helicopter, the high-speed cars and scenic landscapes were shot from every angle.

"For our inaugural rally we needed to make a serious impact through our TV series and capture every glorious moment. For this reason we chose Studio Republic whom we have worked with before. We are always impressed with the quality of work as well as their friendly, efficient staff members. This is a partnership which will last for many years to come," said Mark Castel, CEO BAM.

From a Rolls Royce Phantom, to Ferraris to McLarens, the event showcased the finest engines in the country as well as their distinguished owners. The many hours of footage will be edited into a six-part TV series to be broadcast on 14 September on DStv Ignition channel 189.

"To be a part of this magnificent event, a first in SA, was truly inspiring. The team behind the Rogue Rally created a spectacle that my crew and I were honoured to be a part of. It was thrill followed by thrill, all the way from start to finish," said Darren Kerr, Executive Producer at Studio Republic.

The Rogue Rally, which is sponsored by ADreach and BAM, will once again keep thousands of eyes glued to the road, next year.
