The newly established AFL Asia had an impossible deadline: 28 September 2013.

The task was to create a promo video that showcased the iconic Sherrin being handballed and kicked around Asia in front of iconic locations – all in time for the video to be played at 2013 AFL Grand Final functions hosted by member clubs.

The result was the above video. It’s an outstanding result given the time constraints.

Special thanks to the Macau Lightning and Dave Smith for proposing the initiative, the number of clubs that contributed footage and Dave and Mark Stennett for making it all happen.

Also special thanks to Art Phillips and Adrian Bolland (101 Production Music (APRA)) for providing the music and to Darren at Virtually Real for his editing work.
