Nissan Extrem New Concept Sports Car Gets Tough On The Streets



Nissan gets tough on the streets with their new concept sports car "Extrem". Nissan captured the vibrancy, color and excitement of Brazil with EXTREM, a radical car aimed squarely at the young (and young-at-heart) car enthusiasts keen to make a statement on the roads. Press below.


  • First concept car from Nissan designed specifically for Brazil
  • Design reflects the color and passion of the country
  • A new urban compact sports car that's exotic yet attainable
  • Rugged and agile 2+2 with distinctive color treatment

EXTREM has been created especially for Brazil. It has been designed for and built in the country and has its world debut at the 27th São Paulo International Motor Show (October 24 – November 4).

"Brazil is a country of great natural beauty and it has a passionate, rich culture. But this is not always reflected in the cars on its streets, especially the more affordable locally produced vehicles which tend to be conservative in design, color and specification," said Shiro Nakamura, Senior Vice President and Chief Creative Officer.

"EXTREM, with a dynamic, high-character design, is far from conservative. It was created to appeal to the country's growing band of city-based young professionals who are passionate about design and want to make a personal statement. The lightweight two-door 2+2, has a dynamic stance, fresh surfacing, and a clear rugged ability to tackle the urban jungle everyday," he added.

Designed by Nissan Design America (NDA) in San Diego, California, in collaboration with Brazilian designers and produced in Brazil, the concept previews a new breed of car. By blending versatility and toughness with the agility of a compact 2+2, EXTREM is a new genre of urban compact sports car.

Its unveiling at the São Paulo Motor Show underscores Nissan's commitment to Brazil. The country is one of the largest new car markets in the world and one in which Nissan enjoys significant sales growth. The company claimed almost two per cent of the 2011 market, doubling its 2010 sales, and aims to account for five per cent of new car sales in Brazil by 2016. via NissanNews.com | USA

Nike Says So Long To Lance Armstrong


We wont be seeing Lance Armstrong and Nike together any longer nor as chairman of LIVESTRONG, the cancer non-profit organization he founded. Nike gave him the boot today and Lance stepped down from Livestrong via a Tweet. Nike is continuing to support Livestrong...Rough day for Lance.
NIKE STATEMENT ON LANCE ARMSTRONG

Due to the seemingly insurmountable evidence that Lance Armstrong participated in doping and misled Nike for more than a decade, it is with great sadness that we have terminated our contract with him. Nike does not condone the use of illegal performance enhancing drugs in any manner.

"A Taste of ABC Sunday" | Prime-Time Promo



ABC promote's their Sunday night with new ad campaign, "A Taste of ABC Sunday" highlights Sunday night TV shows: “Once Upon A Time,” “Vengeance,” and “666 Park Avenue. Full press below.

NTROPIC CREATES VISUALLY ENTICING PROMO FOR ABC FALL SUNDAY NIGHT LINE-UP
Led by Ntropic’s Nate Robinson and Andrew Sinagra, the creative team at Ntropic has created a visually enticing promo for ABC’s Fall Sunday Night Line-Up entitled “A Taste of ABC Sunday.” Collaborating closely with Executive Producer Joseph Uliano of One World Productions in Los Angeles and the Entertainment Marketing Division of ABC, the team of Robinson + Sinagra directed the piece, while Ntropic created all of the visual effects for the ground-breaking promo which began airing last month with heavy rotation during the 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards.


The new ABC promo features a series of vignettes with an alluring, all-star cast showcasing the eclectic ABC Sunday Primetime line-up. All scenes featured in the new promo, directed by Robinson + Sinagra, were shot on a rigorous three-day schedule, on-set in Los Angeles. Elements were also shot in Vancouver and in the Hamptons. The creative process included a blending of live-action, motion-control, CGI animation and Flame effects. Shooting the background plates on different days from the talent meant that Ntropic needed to marry all of these elements and make it all appear seamless. The Ntropic team operated around the clock for three weeks creating flawless visual effects for the vignettes, interweaving a glimpse of ABC Sunday’s three prominent shows; “Once Upon A Time,” “Vengeance,” and “666 Park Avenue.” Spot on artistry combined with intricate visual effects, brings to life a “little taste” of magic, vengeance, and seduction.

“When I first saw this idea, it had so many challenging elements that I immediately thought of Ntropic for the VFX; and Nate and Andrew for their directing wizardry,” says Executive Producer Joseph Uliano. “Nate and I have had a very creative and ongoing relationship for over 10 years and there is no one I trust more to deliver. The final result of this project is even more proof of that.”

“We were super thrilled to work on this project with Joe Uliano and with ABC,” says Ntropic’s Nate Robinson. “In our research, we looked at literally hundreds of promos, and believed we could re-think what a promo could be. We had full support and collaboration from all the celebrity talent, which was amazing. On-set, we showed them the pre-vis so they could see what we needed them to do. I believe this project is a testament to Ntropic’s talent, aesthetic and philosophy; to be able to shoot and create this level of high-quality visual effects all within a three-week time period. We can’t wait to work with Joe and his clients at ABC again.”

1791 Denim Spot | Glenn Beck Keep's It 100% American



1791 Denim. 100% Made in the USA. Radio host Glenn Beck's new denim and clothing brand 1791 which originally launched as a charity clothing line 11 months ago, released a new commercial and web film (film below) promoting the clothing line.




Beck who was critical of the Levi's "Go Forth" campaign and complained that it "glorifies revolution"..."I put on a pair of old Levi’s and I said to my wife, ‘I love Levi’s! I’ve loved them since I was a kid. They’re my favorite jeans! I don’t know why I don’t wear them all the time!’ I am turning my red tabs in. I will not wear a pair of Levi’s. Won’t do it."

What's a man to do? You start your own denim shop! I have to be honest as a Canadian I have no positive or negative opinion of Glenn Beck, but I am really liking this 1791 Supply & Co. stuff.



See the Levi's Go Forth ad "America" that set Beck off  Here.

As Jay-Z shares:

"Now people are exercising their right, and you are starting to see the power of our vote. He made it mean something for the first time for a lot of people. "

A love-struck protagonist cat and a feel-good car are the makings of the one of best commercials I've seen this year, the best one starring a cat that is. This fantastic new commercial for the 2013 Toyota Corolla entitled "Feels Good Inside" features a curious cat who seems to have some bad luck with his curiosity, from being run over by a lawn mover to diving into wet cement. But the best part is this cat's dive attack on the dog. The ending, well let's just say this cat will be back.
