RAFA SHOOTS 'MATRIX' TV AD


Santander, October 31st, 2009

Rafa Nadal will spend this weekend in Santander (accompanied by members of his family) where he plans to play a golf tournament at the Pedreña golf club today, Saturday.

BANESTO'S NEW TV AD

All day yesterday, in hall No.3 of the Bilbao Exposition Center (BEC), Rafa shot a TV commercial for Banesto (The bank that represents him). The ad, called 'The Matrix', was closely watched by Ana Patricia Botin, president of the entity.

During filming, Rafa ran from side to side of the set chasing imaginary balls and not even his signature Babolat racket had strings. The aim, as they explained, was to achieve the show-motion effect that you see in the scenes when Keanu Reeves fights.

With Rafa, they think, it will be even better, more spectacular, since cameras (placed on the set of filming as the backbone of a triceratops), will show the movements of the tennis player from a 360 º angle: A complete view of the muscular champion. The technique has been called, very appropriately, 'instant bullet'.

During lunch, at the Gloria Zierbena restaurant, Rafa signed some autographs and took photos with fans, always smiling and grateful to them for their affection. There is no doubt his greatness goes way beyond his skills on a tennis court.

Vamos Rafa!
