Lucky Post’s Marc Stone Helps Kia Deliver Action-Packed Spot “Stunt Person” For The Big Game

Written by Hype World

The hardest working stunt person has a vehicle to match in the new spot for Kia’s new SUV, the 2021 Seltos. Edited by Lucky Post’s Marc Stone for the creators of the TV spot, Inspire Agency, the spot traverses various locations, from city streets to rugged landscapes – showing the style and capability of the vehicle. The Kia Seltos makes a star appearance while delivering the man of action. He rides, leaps, and fights with spectacular precision and daring attitude… the Kia Seltos, much like the stuntman doesn’t do it for the fame, but because it can. The project was directed by Norry Niven of Thousand Foot Squid. The :60 version made its debut on Fox Deportes on Super Bowl Sunday. 

“This was a really fun project to work on, with a great concept by the creatives and bold, cinematic footage directed by Norry (Niven),” comments Stone. “The biggest challenge was editing each situation to resonate while delivering a complete high-energy narrative – all with the car integrated and essential to the storyline.”

Inspire Agency’s concept for the launch of the 2021 Kia Seltos was born from the insight that Hispanics are underrepresented in Hollywood, with many of them being stunt people. Working behind the scenes, giving it everything, much like Kia – and the all-new 2021 Kia Seltos.
