The commercial featured in this Showcase was shot for Kia Motors and is due to be released to coincide with the Asian Motor Show 2008.

The production lasted six days and was shot in Madrid, Los Monegros (Huesca) and Las Bardenas (Navarra). One of its highlights was the use of technical material like the 'Russian arm' brought from Canada, and the 'nose mount' from the UK - and of course, the technical crew made up of more than 60 people!
Director: Mr. Duk Yeop, Hi.
Executive Producers: La Cosa de las Películas (Montoto and Justo) and Compass (Tony Choi).
Agency: Innocean.
Client: Kia Motors.

During the Spanish 'vacaciones', Setup was busy with German catalogues and advertising jobs. Whilst everyone else enjoyed the sun at the beach - and the parties by night! - Setup had beautiful working days in Ibiza with Nina Melton behind the camera shooting for Quelle and preparing the upcoming session for the Spanish Boboli campaign.
