Laurent Chanez of Identity directs this inspirational Nike project for TV and web out of Wieden + Kennedy, Tokyo. Shot in three countries, the premise is simple… everyone is on equal ground no matter the level of expertise. The days of running in solitude are obsolete with the newest product to hit the market, Nike+. A device that tracks your runs through distance, time and calories burned, Nike+ is made to fit into the sole of Nike shoes and transmit information to an iPod Nano. From Identity Director Laurent Chanez: “This project was interesting in that there were a lot of different things to shoot around the world that would let the viewer know time and place without being too obvious about location. I didn’t want to show where we were by using a monument, or other obvious choice. The viewer knows the athletes are in different places based on the film color and look of each distinct scene which adds to the richness of the spot. Each athlete had to fit within that particular moment, and everyone had to be connected to the same line, on the same level.”
