Nissan Qashqai - The making of Artistic Paintball - (2010) :90

Sure looks like this shoot was a lot of fun, doesn't it? Bags of paint exploding everywhere, even the cameras got some on them. Fun!

Alasdhair McGregor, European Creative Director, TBWA\G1, commented: “How do you build on and even do better than the original Qashqai Skateboard commercial? For a car that is tougher and better looking than the original model, we decided to move Urbanproof to the next level.
In an enormous paintball fight in which the city attacks Qashqai with thousands of litres of paint. A mixture of war and art. Shot in Bangkok by Stylewar over 6 days, the paint you see is 80% real. After 4 days there was no more explosives to be found in Bangkok and we had to fly more in. The car looks great, the city looks better. More tough and more style is what we wanted to say about the car. I’m sure the consumer will get the message. And enjoy it.”
