Bicoastal creative production company Stardust Studios recently delivered the third spot in a high-profile broadcast campaign for the Nissan Murano and TBWA\Chiat\Day Los Angeles. Directed by Stardust’s owner and executive creative director Jake Banks, the first spot entitled “Soar” broke in Dec., “Glide” debuted just before Super Bowl XL and aired during ABC’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, and the third spot – entitled “Fly” – began airing nationally this week. Stardust also provided design, live-action production, animation, editorial and visual effects for the campaign.

Each of the spots uses a stylized approach to showcase how smoothly the Murano’s Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) operates, featuring the vehicle inside of an animated world transforming into a bird in “Soar”, a manta ray in “Glide” and a paper airplane in “Fly.”

Agency: TBWA\Chiat\Day, Los Angeles.
