Several reasons, Peter. Having worked most of my life in the film and television industry, as well as having been to Japan on several occasions, I can assure you that Japan would have offered huge benefits to this ad. For a start, Hokkaido offers stunning mountain scenery and ski slopes that are second-to-none. Japan is also more economical, with wage costs about half that of New Zealand, as well as much lower costs of goods and services. Commercial production is New Zealand is highly competitive and production houses strive to achieve the best possible outcomes for their client's dollars - otherwise they go out of business!
