A 1968 Chevelle Clocked at 96 MPH — Beat It If You Can

When Jack Morton needed a wow-worthy activation for Chevrolet, PivotXP delivered Pitch Against The Machine — a fully automated, high-impact experience where guests tested their pitching speed against a real 1968 Chevy Chevelle.

The Chevelle wasn't a graphic. It was a legendary muscle car on full display, with its actual top-end speed of 96 mph set as the benchmark every guest had to beat. Real car, real speed, real stakes — that was the entire premise.

Guests could check the Chevelle out up close, snap photos, and then "race" it virtually through the activation itself. Every pitch was a moment built around the vehicle, not next to it.

Radar Gun + 120fps Camera + RFID = a Branded Video in Under a Minute

PivotXP built the whole stack: a Stalker Sport 3 radar gun capturing each pitch's exact speed, a Canon R8 recording every throw in buttery 120fps slow motion, RFID wristbands triggering personalized sessions, and real-time processing producing a finished cinematic clip in seconds.

Every guest's video showed their own pitch composited directly against the 96 mph Chevelle benchmark — with speed overlays, slow-mo beats, and full Chevy branding baked in. No green screen, no post-production, no manual editing.

It was hardware, software, video, and cloud — all under one roof, all running live, all delivering a guest's branded clip via email and SMS within seconds of the pitch.

963 Pitches, 321 Videos, 78 MPH Fastest Arm

Across the run, guests threw 963 pitches and walked away with 321 finished cinematic clips — every one of them automatically generated, branded, and delivered to their phone without an app download or a manual share step.

The fastest arm clocked in at 78 mph. The benchmark held. The shareable content didn't stop coming.

Built for high-volume crowds with sub-second response, redundant systems, and offline modes, the activation proved that sports, storytelling, and speed can all run on a single repeatable, scalable system.
