Nikon

Architecture Photography with man as abstraction - Misleading lines - was the guideline of an advertising campaign for Nikon Europe. Our athlete Benni Grams was part of this campaign. Together with the photographer Max Leitner he traveled to Warsaw for a series of pictures in the urban environment for the London advertising agency Brands2Life. An interesting challenge that required a lot of creativity and physical exertion.

Ninja Warrior 2017

Also in 2017 Benni competed at Ninja Warrior Germany and impressed the spectators with his „inhuman“ performances. With the best time of just 2:25 min in the semi-final, he draws into the final. In the final, Benni also impresses the spectators, with great speed and  races over the obstacles with a playful lightness. The presenters Frank Buschmann and Jan Köppe personally describe Benni as "disguised cat" and give comments like "what is going on here???" and " that is inhuman!

Deichmann TV Spot

Together  with the agencies Czar and Freistil, we supplied three of our most experienced athletes  for the shoe manufacturer Deichmann. The trio spent 8 adventurous days in the beautiful Barcelona, with their good friend Felix Quinton, to shoot the commercial. The "Deichmann Streetstyle Image Spot" for autumn 2014 featured besides Parkour and Freerunning  also Breakdance and Dance  scenes and follows a fresh approach  to present the brand. Team spirit  was the main theme in the commercial and inforces the motto "because brands are invincible". We are very happy about the result  and proud to be  represented in German TV  with two Ashigaru athletes at the same time. Here is the 1-minute version of the commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f-o3W_94JM

Horizon Zero Dawn – Guerrilla Games

  Client: Guerrilla Games Type of project: Motion Capture As an Europe-wide casting-call for MotionCapture attracted the attention of the Parkour scene and was looking for a powerful, fast and elegant character, our athlete Benni Grams was able to convince Guerrilla Games' producers with his extraordinary abilities. Benni becomes the main Game Charakter "Aloy" in Horizon Zero Dawn. In the well-known film studio "Audiomotion Studios" in Oxford, he brings the character to life with his powerful, fast and precise movements. With several sensors on the body his movements were recorded and thus digitized. Now, the digitized version of Benni Grams captivates millions of players worldwide and takes them through the world of Zero Dawn.   Horizon Zero Dawn has won the Best Original Game award at the Game Critics Awards and 2016 the Gamescom Award in the Best Preview category. Here are some excerpts from the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuhu4RuPsus

Karma Chakhs

In September 2015 Ashigaru athlete Matthias Mayer and Jakob Vöckler were part of the production of the elaborate commercial for "Karma Chakhs". This amazing Crowdfunding project emerged from the protest against unfair production conditions of the famous "Chucks shoes" and had set itself as their own fair shoes. In addition to fair working conditions and fair pay, this also means the elimination of child labor and the processing of toxic ingredients - and premiums of 15% of the production costs of each step are invested in charitable purposes. Jakob and Matthias were able to sniff some Berlin air (and Munich air, but they know this quite well), eat the best kebabs of their lives, become vegetarians and also meet a lot of people - among them the father of the Karma movement , Van Bo Le-Mentzel, the producer Shai Hoffman and the director Christian Fischer and many, many more, all with their free work ensured that a brilliant project was realized. You can see it here by the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cK0BIMwlHM Nähere Infos zum Karma Projekt gibt es auf ihrer Website: http://www.karma-classics.de

Netflix – Ultimate Beastmaster

The new Netflix Show „Ultimate Beastmaster“ with Sylvester Stallone aired on February 2017 and our athlete Silke Sollfrank had the opportunity to fly to USA along with six other athletes from around the globe to overcome a monstrous obstacle course. „The Beast“ took place in a middle of a desert in Los Angeles. Silke was the youngest competitor being one of the few female athletes that even took part. It looked as if she was in a disadvantage compared to her muscular crossfit competitors but her parkour experience took her the furthest from all the female competitors. You can see her strong performance in episode „The Beauty and the Beast“ on Netflix.

NIKON D750 – Unchained

  In 2014, we received a request for a video and photo production for Nikon in Berlin. The goal was to put the new Nikon D750 into the spotlight together with the Red Bull sports photographer Ray Demski. Our athlete Lucas Wilson was already in the midst of the pre-production process, accompanied and advised the production team at locationscoutings and in meetings with the photographer. On two days of fitting and a new location check with Red Bull athlete and Ashigaru founder Jason Paul, followed a 2-day shooting, partly over 14 hours from sunrise and sunset. Sounds as stressful as it is - but even after 14 hours of action shooting, our athletes still never fail to deliver. As always, we keep it brief, present the results and are proud to be part of interesting jobs with great people, whose interaction and work at the end of the day produces wonderful results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jAlpGkHoKU
