Just in time for the Olympic games,
Gatorade
launched "The Boy Who Learned to Fly," a
5:45 animated video that tells the story of Jamaican sprinter and fastest man in the world,
Usain Bolt. Bolt was a young boy with a carefree, positive attitude and an innate gift for running. Still, now he's
overcome by anxiety when he feels that the weight of his country depends on him winning a race. A moving pep talk by his mother reminds him that
worrying only weighs a person down. Bolt wins his race, and his feet haven't touched the ground since.
TBWA\Chiat\Day LA created the video, co-directed by
Limbert
Fabian and
Jake Wyatt of
Moonbot.
