Nissan "Qashqai Defy the Limits"
Case Study

The Japanese automotive brand Nissan unveils the Nissan Qashqai, a modern SUV with two powertrain options combining electric drive with a petrol engine for improved efficiency and fuel savings. Featuring advanced technologies and a bold design, it aims to deliver a premium driving experience.

Working closely with the Nissan Unlimited (TBWA) agency, The Mill Paris' talents recreated the Qashqai in 3D in order to present this power through the lens of Birth director Daniel Askill. We see the car defying gravity, ascending a skyscraper and leaping onto a suspended platform through a combination of verticality, dynamic camera balance, and dramatic reversals, all set in a striking monochrome yellow palette.
