Commercial Spotlight: Nissan Juke – The Dread

October 4, 2010 / / 0 Comments

Nissan has successfully merged high-action 3D animation with marketing, creating an exciting commercial for their Juke vehicle. Gone is the boring spot in which a car drives through a mountain side as a voice-over uses carefully chosen keywords. Instead, the Juke battles it out against a 500-ton steel monster with tank treads for feet. Click here to check out the second commercial in the series.

‘Trunk Train’ TV Trailer

October 3, 2010 / / 0 Comments

Back in February I posted a video to a children’s television series named Trunk Train, which had not gone into development at the time. I’m happy to report that the show is now in production. I’d like to congratulate Zé Brandão, Creative Director of Copa Studio, and everyone else involved. With any luck, the show will get picked up for distribution in the United States.
