SUNS TV were recently on set for the filming of FIAT’s brand new television commercial, and while members and fans will have to patiently wait for the March 15 official release, our cameras captured all the behind-the-scene footage at Metricon Stadium. 

Announced in October that the European industry leader would be jumping on board as the club’s new co-major partner, the Gold Coast SUNS are still celebrating the sponsorship partnership that FIAT will be driving the club for the next three years. 

So to celebrate the launch of the 2014 Season, brand ambassadors Gary Ablett, Dion Prestia, Jaeger O’Meara, Charlie Dixon and Zac Smith came together for what promises to be one of the most exciting TVC’s in recent years.

In what he says was his first time behind the camera, Dion Prestia didn’t take long to find his comfort zone according to Gary Ablett, the Gold Coast superstar joking his young midfield accomplice may be suited for a potential career change. 

“I’ve been in the background doing a lot of extra work. Dion is the main act today, his first time in a TVC and he’s looking like he’s having a lot of fun,” Ablett said.

Fortunately for Ablett, Prestia and Jaeger O’Meara, the star midfielders were able to take shelter as ruck duo Dixon and Smith fought through the torrential rain. 

“We’ve got Charlie and Smitty taking some speckies on the ruck back. They have been coming in and out because of the rain, but they have been doing a great job,” the skipper confirmed.

Not wanting to give too much away, Ablett encouraged SUNS TV viewers to make sure they check out the TVC, to be aired next week during the team’s season opener against Richmond.

“As ambassadors it has been a lot of fun and FIAT are a great company to work with.

“I won’t tell you too much because I think you will have to wait and see the finish product but it should be good!”
