Get Your Jeep and Get Ready for the World’s Most Epic Paintball Battle!

Posted on May 30, 2012 by baysideadmin

Take a friendly game of paintball, throw in a few Jeeps, and suddenly it turns into a battle that looks right out of a Michael Bay summer blockbuster.

On Memorial Day, filmmaker Devin Graham released “Paintball Warfare – Epic Paintball Battle,” a 3-minute big, brawling paintball fight with ATVs, a Parajet, and a slew of Jeep Wranglers and Jeep Cherokees. According to the video description, the video was partially sponsored by Nitro Circus who provided the vehicles and stunt drivers. Needless to say, they did a spectacular job with professional stunts (which should not be attempted at home).

We were really excited to see the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Cherokee make appearances in the video. While we don’t recommend trying such extreme paintballing at home, we love the creativity shown with these great Jeep vehicles.

“Techno Jeep” Gets Second Life Online

Posted on April 11, 2012 by baysideadmin

Over 2 years ago, Julian Smith of Julian Smith TV uploaded his music video “Techno Jeep” to YouTube. Recently, however, the video has seen a resurgence of sorts, and this inventive and infectious video has been making the rounds again.

“Techno Jeep” is a techno song performed using parts of a Jeep. Anything is game from a percussive door slam to the clicking locks and the revving engine. According to the description of the video, the musicians rehearsed for 2 weeks before shooting the video, and they shot for 7 hours until they got the perfect single-shot take. You can watch the video here:

A free ringtone version of the song is also available for free here.

Most of the viewers who responded to “Techno Jeep” have been surprised that Jeep would inspire a filmmaker and a group of musicians to make such a creative tribute to a car brand. It shouldn’t be so surprising, though. Jeep has a history of devoted fans and continues to reward their loyalty with fantastic new cars year after year. Hopefully more fans will be inspired by“Techno Jeep” and we will see more Jeep-themed music and videos in 2012.

“Halftime in America” Wins Top Automotive Spot In Youtube Ad Blitz 2012

Aside

Everyone always focuses on just which ad is the best to air during the Superbowl. This year, the auto industry was looking to show people they were back in business. To that end, Chrysler continued its “Imported from Detroit” commercials, this time bringing in legendary actor and director Clint Eastwood to provide narration. It sparked some controversy but overall, I was personally a fan of it. Even with people calling foul on it, it still managed to come out ahead as one of the most memorable of the night.

The votes are now in with the Youtube Ad Blitz program and the commercial has captured the top spot in the automotive rankings. “It’s Halftime in America” was second place overall in the entire contest. Last year in the same contest, Chrysler placed first with the “Born of Fire” commercial. The ad has had more than 17 million views on Youtube.

“’It’s Halftime in America’ is about a mission, not about a product. It is about the spirit that motivates our embracement of this mission,” said Sergio Marchionne, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Chrysler Group LLC. “The 2-minute video portrayed the essence of Chrysler Group’s commitment and how we are working toward the future. We don’t presume to teach anything or show our way as the right way ahead. Our message to the United States came from people who felt a duty to encourage the country they love. It was simply a way of saying that everyone, in the land of opportunity, has the right to dream and the power to turn that dream into reality.”

The ad was certainly the most memorable automotive commercial of the whole Superbowl. Clint Eastwood definitely knows how to make an impact.
