Nisson Commercial
Does anyone know who trained or owns the polar bear used in the new Nisson commercial?
Wade,
ReplyDeleteI've suspected that the majority if not all of the scenes were CGI (computer generated imagery),blue screen work or a combination of both.
Below is a link to a behnd the scenes video, although it does not name the trainer.

I think Vincent is right. It could even be a wild bear. Some of the computer stuff is amazing - remember all the Budweiser horses doing a bow?

Scratch the last comment - I just watched the video. Very cool.

Ian,
ReplyDeleteAlthough it was a real bear, we can assume most of what it was shot doing was "staged".
