Mothership director David Rosenbaum has teamed up with ad agency TBWA\Chiat\Day, Los Angeles on a cinematic two-spot effort for Infiniti. To promote Infiniti’s Winter Sales Event, the festive commercials highlight the Infiniti G Sedan’s ability to handle the most challenging driving conditions — and an average Joe’s winter revenge fantasy. The 30-second spots “Inspired” and “Competitive” also tap the visual effects expertise of Mothership sister company Digital Domain. In “Inspired,” the man rolls a seemingly innocuous snowball down a mountain. As he hops into his Infiniti, the ball picks up speed and girth. The man drives down an icy winding road, deftly dodging the ball -- which, at this point, has grown to twice the size of the vehicle. As the man arrives at his destination, the boulder-sized ball hits a grouping of trees and explodes, creating a beautifully magical impromptu snowstorm.
