Nigel Simpkiss shot two films for Maserati for the launch of their new Quattroporte at the Detroit Motor Show. Nigel has been shooting cars for over 15 years, initially as one of the main feature directors for BBC’s Top Gear and more latterly as a commercial director in both Europe and the US.
The campaign, “Life’s Grand Tour” was shot entirely in Italy for international advertising agency – The House World Wide. Independent produced both films and stills as part of an integrated production with Independent’s associate company BRW Filmland based in Milan.
The first film (featured) is a fascination piece shot in a studio. It shows the cars beautiful and bold design as well as its luxurious interior. On the studio film, Munky executed extensive beauty work on what was in fact a prototype version of the car as well as creating the environment in which the car stands.
