NIKONのCMに出ました
NIKONさんのCMに出ました^^;
現在は http://www.nikonnext.com/ でHDバージョンが見れますが、世界各国のテレビに出るとのこと。
以前はコカコーラのCMに出た事がありますが、ただのエキストラだった。
広告代理店のWeiden and Kennedyさんや監督のチモシーさんに感謝しています。
CMに出ていない時はこんなことやっています。僕のその他のテレビ出演などは僕のプロフィールページで見れます。

That was a pretty amazing CM. Very inspiring, you're sure moving on up. Keep up the great work Danny-san, you have my full support =]

You have my support as well!
Personally, I haven't yet developed a preference for a brand of snapshot camera. When it comes to camcorders however, I love the Sanyo Xacti series (I have the CG6 model, which is on the budget end of the spectrum).
There are other camcorders that definitely do a better job, but for way less than $200, my Xacti does a kick-ass job of taking videos! Pictures on the other hand, not so much.

-When- I buy a camera it will be a Nikon! I fell in love with them back in highschool..
But.. I wasnt aware that the Lumix was part of the Nikon line? =o Hehe.

Indeed!
I thought it a slight bit ironic that DC appears in a Nikon commercial while most of his recent blog posts all involve the Lumix LX3 :)
I'm sure he uses his Nikon for some lovely photography though.

Likewise, I really enjoyed this commercial, too. It just has a really personable vibe to it. It's still an ad and all, but the atmosphere of it just did a great job of making sure it wasn't just "Buy our product please," but rather, "This is the sort of passion which can be put to good use with our help." I liked it and wish more ads were like this one.

http://asianmoviereviews.wordpress.com
congratulations on your cm!
the idea for the cm is quite fresh when compared to the rest of the commercials around. i guess that what makes it different is that it was probably designed with their website in mind first, then the for the tube later.
good stuff man, maybe we'll be seeing more of this sorta stuff with you....maybe later even incorporate mirai inc...maybe, never know what the future holds! best of luck!

Why are you presented as a "blogger"? You are a journalist, a critic, an expert, the term "blogger" seems terribly implementation dependent and condescending.

I quite enjoyed the commercial. You spoke very naturally and seemed to be enjoying yourself in front of the camera.
[Though I have to admit the experience was made a lot better by hearing your unique accent: sounds mostly British but you pronounce the Japanese words like "uchimizu" like a native :)]
When I get my first DSLR I'll be sure to keep your camera recommendations in mind. My current digicam is a Canon, but I want to trade up at some point O_o
Great commercial, and it's great to see you looking so contented. Thinking happy thoughts your way.

BTW, ask for a D90 but I guess they'll probably give you a D5000 since that's the newest Nikon DSLR but IMHO, the D90 is much better. ^^

Not sure if these air elsewhere, but I often see Canon's commercials for the Rebel Xsi with Avril Lavigne as their spokesperson.
I've always liked Canon cameras, but I much prefer Danny's commercial to Avril's.

wow....
Did they gave u a Nikon DSLR.... if not they should, how are you gonna help them do a commercial if u did not try out one of their product.
Anyway i am a Canon user but really always thinking of getting a Nikon D90, i prefer their color over and sharpness over the Canon DSLR.

First place, what a great ad!! They really nailed at incentivating people to go out and take pictures!
That said, it was great Danny!! I had never seen you talking and I enjoyed it very much! Your voice is different than I imagined! hehe
When you talked about the photos and I recognized almost all of them, I felt really proud too. Because in a way I feel like a part of Danny Choo's blog, since I'm here everyday, read every article, read lots of users and guests articles and even show to my friends and family lots of things I see, watch and read here.
Your motivational articles, for example, cause great impact in mee, since I too dream of living in Japan.
I honestly hope I can meet you someday and we can chat about Japan while eating lots of din-dins! lol

This is the first time i hear you speaking english, Nice video, feel very elegent in it.

I'm guessing you'll get a D90. DSLR with video just like you want it, but still a more compact package than the Canon 5d. Video is not as nice as a dedicated camcorder but less gadgets means less things to carry.
Or maybe the D5000? but I think you're above the D5000, it seems a bit noobish... The sensor is the same though so the IQ should be similar.

What a great commercial, Danny! I've been reading your blog for some time now (ever since you were a guest blogger on BoingBoing) and one of the things I've been most impressed by are your photos. Besides having a terrific camera, you've got a terrific eye. Some of the shots you took over a foggy Tokyo, in particular, I thought were fabulous. As someone who's never been to Japan, your photos allow me to transport myself, if only for a moment, around the world.
Thanks for all you do as a blogger and a photographer!

nikon always keeps their profile low, not like canon in my opinion.
but that's what makes nikon so elegant :D. it's not because i'm using nikon though.

Nice commercial! ^^
I like the fact they allowed you to express yourself and inject your own personality into the commercial and show how photography plays a role into your life and into expressing yourself. It' snot just a commercial about Nikon and a camera, but more about, what does photography mean to you and for you, how does it link your life to others.

Nice commercial ^^ I went back to Nikon a few years ago, my previous Nikon was an FE2 my dad gave me.

The background music bugs me, and makes it hard to hear you at points. But that's just the editor/sound design guy in me talking. ^^;
I was wondering why they had a warehouse - nice look they've got there, with that wide expanse of space and black background playing your usual outfit to its full strength. Very, very nice. Do wonder if they have to pay Crypton and GSC for the right to use those Miku pictures though.

Whoa, you got me a little confused here - I though the CM is on Nikon web, looked for 10 minutes and didn't find, then I came here and here it was. Youtube videos don't show up on feed readers. ^^;
Anyway - totally loved the commercial. I think it did exactly what it's meant to do, to show the watcher that one really can capture his/her life in a still. Totally loved it.
