Ford Ice For Sale

Please click here to see a 720p movie. (37 MB) The spot features a Fusion making an epic journey across two continents and freezing its surrounding environment in doing so. This is synonymous with Ford's tagline: "Create a reaction." When it crosses the ocean we showcase beautiful frozen environments through which the car determinately travels until it reaches the other side. At this point, we are greeted with an unexpected surprise bringing the commercial to a dramatic finale. Warm thanks to the agency team who were pleasure to work with! ;) Technical Info Ford "Ice" was extremely challenging to execute in numerous aspects. First and foremost, rendering in 1080P HD with true 3D motion blur, raytraced reflections & refractions, as well as global illumination features produced almost-prohibitive rendertimes. It was not uncommon to have frames require between 4-12 hours to complete. Since each shot was rendered in numerous layers, the rendertimes were even greater in most cases. Working in HD is another technical barrier due to file sizes. In order to preserve as much quality as possible, 16 bits/channel TIFF files were used which amounted to approximately 12 MB / frame. This required an enormous amount of drive space to accommodate all the data, and this isn't including the rendered scenes. Composites which would have taken minutes in SD shot up to hours due to HD. In addition, this was the first project I've worked on that was shot with the Red camera. This camera delivers full 1080P footage with exceptional quality and is 100% digital. Because the camera was so new (only 8 weeks old at the time), very few people knew how to use it. This resulted in on-going camera crashes throughout the shoot days and constant headaches as everyone adjusted to a new method of working using its proprietary REDCODE files. The glass, tree and dandelion freezing effects were quite complex to create. Each effect actually contains hundreds of thousands of particles growing in very much the same way ice forms. In order to do this, we had to use brand new software that would allow for particle-generated geometry. Although virtually every shot contains CG effects of some sort, the most important ones have been broken down in the "Image and More" section. Feel free to take a look for more in-depth explanations. This spot was created using 3dsmax 9.0, After Effects 6.5, VRay 1.5 RC3 and Photoshop 9.0. It was onlined on an Inferno.

Ford S-MAX The strategy, devised by ad agency Ogilvy & Mather and interactive arts and technology collective Seeper, comprises two events that will take place at the Senate House in London tonight (Thursday) and the Ventilation Building in Liverpool on Saturday. Print ads running in local newspapers such as Metro, the London Evening Standard and the Liverpool Echo, will invite consumers to attend the events, during which an ice-climbing scene will be projected onto the side of the buildings. The first two minutes will feature a film of an ice-climber scaling the building. When the climber reaches the top, they will unfurl a banner carrying the S-MAX campaign strapline, ‘Get more out of life’. The climber will then disappear and members of the audience will be invited to use laser devices to ‘cut’ the ice, which will fall away to reveal the surface underneath. Once all the ice has been removed, the area surrounding the building will be plunged into darkness and a Ford logo will be projected onto the wall. Sound and lighting will be used to enhance the experience for consumers, with performers dressed as Sherpas and mountaineers interacting with the crowd. The events are being promoted via social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, and bloggers are be-ing encouraged to discuss the activity. Those attending will be asked to tweet and upload photos and videos to dedicated social med-ia sites to generate a buzz about the campaign online. Lyn West, advertising and sponsorship manager at Ford of Britain, said the marque could better showcase the model’s ‘cutting-edge technology and innovation’ through ‘immersive’ experiential activity, rather than traditional outdoor advertising. ‘We’ve been able to engage with our audience in a new way, and continue the dialogue through social media channels,’ she added. The latest S-MAX model launched in May, and the current activity forms part of Ford’s wider ‘Get more out of life’ marketing campaign.

There we sell 3000 of the current Fiesta ST a year, and that is three times the figure in the next-best market.'With the way things are going with economy and emissions, we will probably sell more Econetic (high-economy, low-CO2) models in future.'However, there is a glimmer of hope that a new ST will be built – thanks to America.The new Fiesta will be the first to cross the Atlantic since the original from the mid-1970s, so it goes there without any image baggage.If the American market is judged to be interested in an ST model, it could mean Ford will sell enough cars to make it worthwhile developing a hot hatch.However, initially the Fiesta will be sold in America as a saloon only, probably with a 2.0-litre engine and an auto gearbox.However, if Ford USA decides to take the three-door hatch as well, it would have a car to rival the mega-successful Mini if there was a more powerful engine.A 1.6-litre unit with around 175bhp would give the Cooper S a real fright. Ford could even call it Verve, like the concept car that preceded the new Fiesta.Ford has confirmed that the new Fiesta will spawn a taller Fusion replacement, and says it will be a more exciting-looking car than the often derided, but commercially successful, current model.
