This is what we did to spread Nissin Foods’ corporate message —"Hungry to win!"—throughout the world as they strive for the top of the global food industry. Picture halftime during a Manchester United match, as the world watches. Onto that scene appear a red-armored “SAMURAI”—the same as the Nissin corporate color— and three black-clad “NINJA” who then break out into a performance of stunning ball techniques on the pitch. We filmed this before a live crowd at Old Trafford and then transmitted the video worldwide. The video had quite an effect: Imagine a chase scene of a samurai sprinting through the streets—and rooftops—of Manchester while kicking a football—all without a single pixel of CGI, nothing but unadulterated freestyle techniques.
