AFL

Sep 2026

The Divine Oaths project for AFL serves as a profound love letter to the cultural bedrock of Australian Rules Football, transcending the traditional broadcast and TV network promotional spot by weaving an intricate tapestry of fan devotion. Orchestrated by 72andSunny Sydney with production expertise from Good Oil, the film navigates the multifaceted ecosystem of the sport, seamlessly bridging the gap between historical reverence and contemporary fandom. By juxtaposing gritty archival footage of iconic matches against the intimate, candid moments of everyday supporters—whether they are caught in the hum of a daily commute, browsing sports newspapers, or curating their own team-themed memorabilia—the piece captures the pervasive influence of football in the national consciousness. The cinematography leans into a dynamic blend of vintage film quality and sharp broadcast-style digital sequences, utilizing a live-action technique that feels both immediate and archival. With the strategic application of slow motion and fluid motion graphics, the narrative oscillates between high-octane stadium energy and quiet, nostalgic reflection. This project does more than highlight a game; it frames the sport as a shared ritual, meticulously documenting the interplay between the professional broadcast spectacle and the personal, deeply ingrained passions of the Australian public. It is a cinematic celebration of history that feels entirely present, ensuring the sport remains a living, breathing component of the Australian identity.
