KFC Chicken to the Max

Maximum size and taste in a new KFC burger.

A KFC burger is launched in a dare devil feat of a burger ‘accordion.’

When KFC launched the Chicken MAX they were not joking when they wanted to show all 9 layers in close up! 


Gus Filgate got to work with the rig guys and came up a multi super burger rig  to fling the burger apart, in a controlled move, whilst the camera was turned on it’s side. The formation was also shot the right way up, and the footage reversed to get the burger to leap unexpectedly.


The KFC Max burger got the maximum treatment it deserved; even the pickle and mayo behaved.
