Twofifteenmccann unleashes “An Endangered Species," new live action trailer for Xbox’s Forza Motorsport 4 Electrifying skills of award-winning stunt driver Martin Ivanov and the voice of Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson deliver an adrenaline-pumping film This week, twofifteenmccann debuted "An Endangered Species," a short live-action film to introduce Forza Motorsport 4 for Xbox 360. Developed by Turn 10 and published by Microsoft Studios exclusively for Xbox 360, Forza Motorsports 4 launches worldwide on October 11. “An Endangered Species” is a rallying cry for car lovers worldwide and a visceral illustration of something many have come to realize — the real world has become an unfriendly place for those who truly love automobiles. Economic concerns, environmental regulations, clogged motorways and a myriad of other restrictions all appear to threaten the very existence of the car enthusiast. Though the opportunities to have heart-racing experiences in the real world are becoming fewer and fewer, Forza Motorsport 4 offers a place to explore car passion freely without fear of speed traps or other impediments. twofifteenmccann brought together an elite team of automotive talent to create “An Endangered Species.” Widely acknowledged as one of the best stunt drivers in the world, Martin Ivanov stars as lead actor and stunt driver. Ivanov’s work in such feature films as Quantum of Solace, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum contain some of the most exciting driving sequences ever put to film. Jeremy Clarkson, host of the hit BBC TV series Top Gear, provides the voiceover.
Twofifteenmccann partnered with production company MJZ and acclaimed director Nicolai Fuglsig on the project which was shot on location in Uruguay. The "An Endangered Species" trailer debuted on Monday October 3 on TopGear.com and will be seen on Xbox.com and other digital properties as well. Other campaign elements including TV, online videos, and print will support the launch of the game as well. twofifteenmccann is a creative and strategic agency specializing in media agnostic ideas for brands.

Xbox Destiny: The new fragrance by Xbox. The idea of exclusive games, or exclusive downloadable content deals, have been commonplace in gaming for years. But less well known are deals that stop a rival console manufacturer from promoting the fact that a game has been released on their format. One of these is in place for Destiny, which Sony are treating almost like a first party game – despite the fact that it’s also being released on Xbox 360 and Xbox One as well. So another Xbox product had to be created and advertised that just happened to have the same name. Readers could then visit a campaign microsite (has been pulled since) or use the Blippar app to reveal the true story, as well as link to retailers to buy the Xbox version of the game. In just the first few hours, the site had more than 50,000 unique users, but more importantly, with one quick hit just days before the game’s launch, a strong link was forged between the names ‘Xbox' and 'Destiny' in the audience's mind.
