Nissan Almera - Container Stunts - (2014) :50 (South Africa)

Old man teaches young man new tricks in this ad from TBWA / Hunt Lascaris Johannesburg. The son shows off his new car to his father, who is not impressed. But when dad gets to drive the Nissan, he pulls off gravity defying stunts with skills that would make Evil Kenevil doubt his calling. Seems the dad works in this shipping container yard, which may explain how he knows exactly how to navigate it by flying automobile.

Slim,of Egg Films, relied on his technical background for the commercial in order to carry out the filming of the stunts in and around the shipping containers. There was precision planning involved with Slim, first Assistant director Carey Lagoe, the Director of Photography Willie Nel and the Sinister Studios building to-scale a 3D replica of both the car and the containers to pull off the many stunts.
