​Innerview: Sarah Benson / Kansas City Star - Ink Magazine

March 2010​

Video: DJG & PJC Note: ​Questions ​about David Seume’s Will Ya Be My Friend​ music video​.​

01) Is this the first music video you’ve ever done? Have you ever animated before?

This is my first music video. I’ve always wanted to do one and would love to venture more. It was a great opportunity and exercise in collaboration and in personal patience as I typically can’t allow art projects to take up a lot of my time per day job, life stuff and other art projects. I’ve never animated before per lack of resources and know-how, but my flat work has always been animated inside of me. It’s so nice to fully translate this in video form for everyone to see. But, it’s not just my video. My friend Philip James Cheaney is animator/co-director and additional artist on David Seume’s “Will Ya Be My Friend” video. This is Philip’s second full-length music video, the first being for The Winston Jazz Routine. I believe he has another one in pre-production for Joel Kraft. He also has several short films under his belt while stationed in Portland, OR. Currently, he is studying for a masters degree at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. I hope this video lends him extra credit as he captured my insides, enhancing them greatly. We’ve known each other for over a decade and work well together, even completing each others sentences most of the time. And David’s wonderful song made it that much easier. David was so kind to let us pick the song that truly sung to us and it was a treat. Three years prior to working on this video with Philip, he and I actually swapped some fairly extensive brains on an animated short film starring Abe Lincoln that we look forward to getting to in the future. I hope to learn some tech or hands-on trickery by then. Philip also has two other short films featuring my art that are on the back burner. Our back burner is actually a bonfire. 02) How did the collaboration between you and David come about? David connected with me on email out of the blue in late November of 2008 while I was in Texas. We had never talked before and I didn’t know about him, but he somehow knew about me. Coincidentally, he was booked to play a set of music, as well as release his debut album “It Is What It Is”, the same night of my 6th annual December art exhibition at The Brick in Kansas City, MO. He commissioned me to make a poster for his show and I knew instantly via email and after meeting in the flesh at the show that we were on the same page in life and art. I believe it was the same night at The Brick that we talked a little about the prospect of a music video. So, it was only fitting we chose to have the “Will Ya Be My Friend” video premiere and video art production on display at The Brick…with extra special thanks to Sheri! 03) The video was released last weekend, right? The video was officially released on Friday, March 12, 2010 at The Brick and on the internet right away. It’s been fourteen months in the making, and apart from my production work online and a handful of news items on David’s site and my site, has been fairly tight-lipped/tight-eye’d. It’s really neat to finally get it out there, share with the public, and see our year-plus of work fly by in four minutes! Hopefully, it’s four minutes that people will come back to visit multiple times! Tell your friends! 04) How much of the imagery is drawn vs. found? There is a very large percentage of found imagery pieced together in collage. There are also some hand drawn elements and characters. The core landscape I made of multiple ink jet printed overlays of found medical/science and floral illustrations and photos. There are also blow-ups of actual locust wings that make lovely hills. The original landscape, which we call “the scroll”, is made from all these layered collage pieces. The scroll is roughly 22″ wide x 25′ long (give-or-take as it is hard to properly measure the length) , based on the landscape I had in my head and from early sketches that I drew/timed to the flow of the landscape of the song. At one time I thought about the prospect of shooting the video on a continuous scroll cranked by hand, sorta old-fashioned and in tune to how I like to do things, but I’ll save that for another something down the road. Going back to truly visualizing the music, I had a vision of the landscape going on one continuous shot with multiple zooms up ‘n’ down and back ‘n’ forth and with the ability for the viewer to see the entire landscape at once during certain moments to see the scope of the world, or at least the part of the world that we were showing. It was probably a little more adventurous and in-depth than what could have been done, but what we ended up with is great as Philip really captured it well and found great ways to compromise and add his own flavors. I’m very pleased! Once the art and my notes were in Philip’s hands, I didn’t worry about it because I have faith in his abilities. I just hope he gets well rested after this! 05) There are a lot of insects and anatomical drawings in the video. Where did that concept come from? In my initial video thoughts, and something I think about quite frequently, I wanted to not only visually stamp the song “Will Ya Be My Friend”, but what the music might sound like on the inside or outside. Whether it’s the soul or makeup of the song itself or any body or vessel in which the song is played into, anything, even that of the external, in-between or over yonder. The original idea actually incorporated a live-action scene that lead into what you see for the final. There was also an idea of capturing David in full body movement and inserting him into the video world. But, being a little limited, and with David and me in KCMO and Philip, our chief motion man being in NYNY, we slimmed our ideas down some. I did a simple action photo shoot of David and then got to work on the final art. Though, Philip did a great job with the introduction of David in the opening credits and a humorous fall into the video world, so he partially captured some of the initial blue print. In terms of conceptual makeup of the landscape, I love seeing split levels of earth layers and what might be under the surface. So, the medical/science/anatomical imagery just made sense with this and also with the idea of seeing the guts of the musical landscape, human landscape or in-between world landscape. I had a couple of underground or cave-like-dip-down moments in mind fused with an almost Super Mario Bros. feel and this idea of seeing more than what’s just on the surface worked well with it too. The insects included just made sense in complimenting the anatomy and floral arrangements. The introduction of “Will Ya Be My Friend” has locusts and I wanted to play off of that, not only with an animation of an actual one whose skid mark David is after, but a few others in interaction, so the insects and microscopic critters blown-up, worked well, as well as the skeleton hands that act insect and critter-like. The song also ends with the voice of a child singing along and we wanted to capture childlike innocence, wonder and discovery from many aspects of the journey. We wanted a video that would be seen as more than just a video for the song, but more like a personal adventure with an identity that anybody might attach to or become attracted towards. We also wanted to lay the foundation of creativity and imagination and a connection to something larger. In particular, that feeling of experiencing something that can live beyond borders, that can make a person wake-up at any point in a day and get wheels turning. Something that can keep breathing. Something all around us that we often overlook, even sometimes the most important elements of life. Even though online time goes by in a flash, and an overloaded four minutes of video time at that, maybe it will get people to come back for more or rewind to get a better view of something buried beneath the surface, or grab a friend to show them. Maybe even it will get people to be thinking or look at non-video life in new ways. Friendships, life, art, whatever, all have extra things and treasures buried beneath. Of course, there are always chances of the not-so special things lurking. But, faith in the extra good ones can cancel them out, we must hope. 06) Are those Paul McCartney’s eyes on that lion? Good question and shows you were watching and came back for more! No, those aren’t Paul’s eyes. Though, if I had to choose the eyes of a Paul, it would be Newman or Buzan. Actually, those are David Seume’s eyes! And actually, as David exits the cave, a picture of himself that makes up the landscape composition is in the ground. It’s the picture those eyes came from. Up until late in the production art I just had the regular “Lion Guy” eyes there, a frizzy-haired chap I came across in an old thrift store text book. I’m not sure what kind of book, maybe psychology, but this guy was chosen for something and then I chose him. He gave me a giggle with that lion mane hair of his and I found a frame to hang him and then drew a body. He makes for a good friend. I wonder who he is though. I’d like to meet him and hope he doesn’t sue me for extending his likeness because I just like him. 07) Have you found anything good recently? (I remember last time we met you had a cup that said “Your dumb” on it) I’m constantly walking with my head down for keepsakes that other people discard, or trash that turns into animals or art when I walk by, so my pockets always have things in them. There are some great weathered handwritten garage and estate sale signs out there left to dissolve. Also, since we’re finally all thawed out from the winter (maybe?) there is good pickings for pieces of cars that wrecked and weird pieces of trash that was chucked. Much of the stuff I’m finding will all fit well together in a singular piece of art, once I get it all spread out and find the right time for it. This town needs a good, hard rain to wash it up some, but it all makes up the city’s landscape. And for now I’ll take what I can get and make something pretty, at least to me. Thanks! -djg

Creating a good lyric video for less than $10

How to make a lyric video for your song (without using Motion or After Effects)

Lyric video: a video that shows your song lyrics while the music plays. [Pretty self-explanatory.]

Not only are lyric videos a great and manageable way to keep your video content coming in between bigger projects that involve more complicated production, but I’ve found they can actually be a lot of fun to make.

Below I’m going to talk about how I created six different lyric videos along with info on some of the FREE tools I used.

A few things to keep in mind:

I’m not a video guy. Every time I make one of my own lyric videos it’s a process of trial and error. A pro could probably create something twice as good in half the time, but I enjoy playing around to find solutions on my own. Plus, video budget? (Pshaw).

You can make really cool lyric videos with programs like Motion and After Effects. I didn’t. For one, those programs cost money (see pshaw above). But diving into one of those programs would mean I have yet another learning curve to climb. I’m interested in exploring Motion at some point, but in between family, work, and everything else, I’d rather use what time is leftover to make music and bang out some videos, not hunker down in the lab for days on end. Maybe those programs are easier to use than I’m imagining, and I’m missing out (let me know in the comments), but for the sake of this article, let’s just refer back to the zero-budget appeal of making lyric videos WITHOUT Motion or After Effects.

That leaves you with free video editing software like iMovie or Windows Movie Maker. Pros might scoff at these intro-level video production tools, but when you combine them with a few other tricks, plus some creativity, I think you can create compelling lyric videos with little more than what comes loaded on most desktops, tablets, or smartphones. [Full disclosure: I used Final Cut Pro X on three out of the four videos below, but I’d worked in iMovie for long enough before that to know most of the things I’m doing in FCPX can be done in iMovie.]

Beginner tips for making lyric videos

Open your movie-making software and set your new project’s aspect ratio to 16:9.

Import your song and any other media (like video clips, still images, logos, etc.) that you plan to use.

Move your first clip or background image to the project pane. If you plan to use one static background image the whole time, you can click and drag to adjust the duration that it appears so it’s long enough to display during your whole song.

Place your song into the project pane. If you want it to start playing right away, drag it all the way to the left. If you have a title page or some other introductory elements, you can leave a little room before the song starts.

Use “titles” to place the lyrics on the video at the appropriate time during the song, matching with the vocals.

Use a font size and style that’s readable (or that looks cool at the very least).

Position your titles on the video (again, by dragging) so they appear in a place that’s legible. For instance, if you’re using a still image of a sandy beach below a light gray sky, you don’t want white font to appear over that sky. Better to drag it down so it appears with starker contrast over the dark sand.

Make adjustments to the length of the titles (you can do this by clicking and dragging) to smooth out the transition from line to line.

Watch your whole video a few times through and make any needed fixes.

Export your video file and upload it to YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, etc.

Some tricks to spice up your lyric videos

This is the lyric video to my song “Irretrievable Beauty.” To create it I followed all the basic steps mentioned above, but here are a few of the bonus elements I added for (hopefully) extra impact:

Additional text — No one ever said a lyric video should contain ONLY your lyrics. So I wrote a bunch of other text (a letter from the 22nd-Century) and placed my lyrics within it. Check out the video and what I’m describing will make more sense.

Color contrast of text — The actual lyrics of the song needed to be easily readable, so they’re all in black against a lighter background. The rest of the words are white, and it’s fine if they roll by without anyone being able to read them all. I intended to create the feeling of being flooded by text, so lots of it is supposed to wash over you.

Public domain image — I found a super hi-res image from 1905 to use for the background of the video (and my cover artwork too), and slowly zoomed in throughout the whole video.

Above is the lyric video for my song “1+1+1=3.” Some of the things I did to make this video:

Slow fade between different versions of the same photo — The background image for this video is the same as the cover artwork, a photo I took of arithmetic on a chalkboard. I then applied different filters to the photo to create three separate versions. While editing the video, I started by laying the three images out in a repeating pattern and then cross fading them all so it looks like there’s some kind of slow transformation happening.

More extra text — The additional text in this video is nowhere near as crazy as in “Irretrievable Beauty,” but I wanted to add a few bits here and there. You’ll spot ’em.

Directly reference the subject matter — The song is called “1+1+1=3.” Yes, it’s about love, but the math element was a fun visual reference point. Arithmetic on a chalkboard. Strange equations in the text. Etc. What’s the visual reference in your song?

Above is the lyric video for my song “Silently.” Some things I did to create this one:

Hyperlapse sunset — One afternoon when I was visiting Oregon, I ran up to the top of Mt. Tabor (an extinct volcano in the heart of Southeast Portland) and found a good spot to film the changing sky as dusk fell. I made sure to be out of the way of anyone who might walk in front of the camera and ruin the looooooong time-lapse shot. Hyperlapse is a free app from Instagram, and it makes it easy to shoot long videos and then speed them up at various rates. I think my 4-minute music video required about 45 minutes of footage.

Intro titles from Word Swag — If you read this blog frequently, you probably know I love Word Swag, a free app that lets you add cool fonts to images. I used Word Swag to create both the circle logo at the beginning with my name in it, and also the “Silently” title. You could use this app to create text for every single lyric, but that’d get time consuming so I just ended up using it for those two elements at the beginning. For this purpose, within Word Swag you’ll usually want to lay the font over a transparent background so you can fly it into whatever video you’re creating without disrupting the moving footage. [Note: I used Word Swag to create the intro text for all the lyric videos below.]

Sketch effect — I then added some built-in effects, including a color saturation effect and two doses of a sketch illustration effect, to make the video look grainy and lo-fi. Like I said above, this wasn’t premeditated. Just playing around with effects to see what looked promising. On that note…

Earthquake wobble effect — I used the earthquake effect because I thought it kind of made the text look like it was on a transparent slide overlay that was out of focus for a second.

Alternating pacing of lyric appearances — Sometimes the lyrics appear and disappear with the vocal. Sometimes certain lines linger. I just went by feel, and payed more attention to how the titles looked laid out across the screen than anything particularly musical.

Alternating the color of the text — This is another obvious way to add some variation if you feel like your lyric video is too much of the same thing: change the colors of the lyrics!

Here’s a video for a song called “Morning Edition” which I posted right before the election in 2016. The recording is actually just a super lo-fi Garageband demo, but I only had two weeks until election day, and I figured if I’m going to make some kind of statement, there’s no time to wait to get my band into a proper studio. So, a few notes about this lyric video:

A lyric video can still have live action — I’ve never really liked the distinction between “music video” and “lyric video,” as if one is more legit and exciting than the other. As someone who listens to lyrics just as much as the music, I love good lyric videos, and I think there can be an interesting hybrid between these two approaches. For “Morning Edition” I lip-synced to my song, 10 seconds at a time, while using the Face-Swap tool in Snapchat to graft a certain someone’s mug onto mine. Then I edited all those takes together and applied a sharp contrast filter to blend the background of the Snapchat clips with the large black borders on both sides of the clips.

Did I say the lyrics have to be legible? — Well sure, it’s good to have legible lyrics, but I don’t think they need to be HUGE if that means you’re ruining the aesthetic of the video. For this one I figured I’d keep the text in a thin minimalist font at the top of the screen, out of the way of my face, and anyone who really wanted to read along could watch the video in full-screen mode.

Here’s the lyric video for my song “Veterans Day.” By complete accident — again, lots of playing around with built-in options — it ended up with a kind of Zen art aesthetic. Here’s how:

Stock video — I looked through tons of stock video sites to find an affordable, hi-res clip that could be used as the background for the whole video. I ended up buying (for less than $10) a short video of milk being poured into a clear glass of water with a black background. But 6 seconds of video wasn’t going to cut it for a 5 minute song, so I…

Slowed the clip WAY down — I stretched the clip as long as it could go and still only had about 2.5 minutes’ worth. So then I…

Reversed the clip — By duplicating the clip I had 2.5 minutes of forward motion, and 2.5 minutes of backwards motion. So the result is like a palindrome, or like that famous bass solo on “Call Me Al.” Halfway through, the whole thing turns around and the milk goes back into the bottle by the end. Another accident that I ended up enjoying.

Color inversion — I used the built-in tools to invert the colors so the white milk became like black ink, and the black background turned to a light gray.

B&W — I then took that video and turned it to black and white, which ended up darkening the whole thing in a nice way.

Scrolling text — One of the built-in title options on many video software programs allows you to scroll text vertically, like the end credits of a film. I used this effect separately for each verse and chorus of the song. Then I did another layer of scrolling text with just a bunch of randomly spaced letters and symbols, with a high transparency on the font so it appears as a graphic element, and I think it gives the whole video a kind a translucent papery feel.

Here’s a few things you might be able to learn from the lyric video to my song “Premiere:”

Still photos are your friend — Check out royalty-free photo sites such as Unsplash. I made the entire video for “Premiere” using photos I found on that site. The one risk you run is that other artists use the same photos in their work, but you can always tweak the images so they’re barely recognizable as I did with the milk video in “Veterans Day.”

Don’t be afraid of Ken Burns — He has a built-in video effect named after him for a reason; that technique of zooming in and out on still photos can be really effective for creating mood. Dynamics! Don’t go crazy or anything with the motion, but a little Ken Burns here and there can make flat photos come to life.

Mix and match fonts — I used a bunch of different kinds of fonts on “Premiere,” giving each section of the song its own feel.

Apply effects and transitions to the titles (text) too — Don’t forget that many of the same effects you can use on pictures and video will work to give your lyrics an interesting look as well.

Don’t publish your video until you’ve proofread it a dozen times! — If you watched my lyric video for “Premiere” you might’ve found a typo. Whoops. I didn’t catch it until it’d been posted for over a week, and by then… oh well. Staring at text while you’re editing gets tiring. Your brain tricks you. While you’re in the process of creating, you might not catch something that seems glaringly incorrect later on. So get some bandmates and friends to watch the video a few times to make sure you don’t have any spelling or grammar issues on your lyrics (I mean, besides the usual grammar or syntactical issues that ALL lyrics have). Another way to limit errors is to…

Write your lyrics out in Word and then paste them into your titles — When you type your lyrics in Word first, you get the benefit of the program’s spellcheck system. Some of the popular video editing software doesn’t have spellcheck, so paste those lyrics in after you’ve vetted them in the external doc.

Okay, those are some of the tricks I’ve used to make my lyric videos more interesting than just white font on a black background, all without paying for extra software or expensive stock footage and images. Hopefully they’re helpful as you create your next video.

Do you have any advice to add? I’d love to hear it. Holler in the comments below and be sure to post a link to your best lyric videos on YouTube!

2016 Nissan Maxima 3.5 Platinum 0-60

2016 Nissan Maxima 3.5 Platinum Review

2016 Nissan Maxima 3.5 Platinum car updated is an intense, decent driving that stays consistent with the execution situated nameplate and has a sumptuous inside that matches the value resources.

“Maxima” is Nissan’s longest consistent utilize plate, and the eighth-era auto is a strong car style generally in view of the Nissan Sport Concept vehicle.

Since the Nissan Altima turned into a commonplace medium estimated vehicle in mid 2000, the Maxima did not splendidly fit a fragment. Nissan says 2016 Nissan Maxima 3.5 Platinum is intended to rival expansive measured full-estimate cars like the Chevrolet Impala and Toyota Avalon, and also drawing in purchasers hoping to move up to an extravagance auto like the Acura TLX.

To see the determinations of these autos contrasted with Maxima, click here.

2016 Nissan Maxima 3.5 Platinum is accessible in five trim levels S, SV, SL, SR and Platinum that decide the level of hardware; Accessories are accessible, however there are no gatherings of choices. We drove a SL, which has a cost of $ 37,715, and $ 38,495 SR.

This is the model more centered around single suspension execution safeguards, springs, safeguards, front stabilizer bar and fortified case, in addition to 19-inch combination wheels with Goodyear in addition to sticky tires (costs incorporate $ 825 goal expense).

2016 Nissan Maxima 3.5 Platinum Outside and Styling

The Maxima conveys the Nissan spilling vehicle outline dialect to its range (see the new era Maxima 2014 analyzed here). The mark signals incorporate a lattice shower fixed with LED daytime running lights and the column dark column rooftop give a late skimming appearance – something that Nissan says is propelled by the banner of a military aircraft.

The front end is forceful – the auto looks debilitating when it sees coming in its rearview reflect and vital. It is an outline that requires a decent or terrible response.

My response to the gliding back section was that I didn’t especially mind. Obscured front columns are an inconspicuous touch, however the treatment is unsettled at the back, where the rooftop tumbles to meet the body.

The dull shades of the paint minimize the impact on the off chance that you couldn’t care less about the flag outline, either.

Huge autos can be known for absolution, happy with driving quality, however these are not the Maxima equation. Contrasted with a Chevrolet Impala or Chrysler 300, which benefit an occupation of smoothing knocks and splits in the street, the Maxima is an a great deal more associated more tightly taking care of autos.

There is small moving of the body when driving quick around a corner. You feel shots, yet they are dealt with refined.

The main SR level of suspension complete is altogether more grounded and busier; You feel more street blemishes, considerably littler, and the effect is more troublesome when you hit a major break asphalt. It is a bit too hard for me, particularly considering the best possible adjust of taking care of and treatment of the standard suspension gives.

You need to set SR on the off chance that you truly need to feel the course as it offers the best of the gathering. In SL trim, the bearing of the Maxima is frustrating shy of input; The wheel turns effectively yet does not have a thought of what tires are experiencing out and about.

There is a drive mode selector with the Normal and Sport modes which alter the quickening agent pedal and the transmission reaction and controlling help and – in a few settings – predominance of motor commotion in the taxi, however the scarcest ability to know east from west in the game does not cure the absence of input.

Press the Sport catch on a SR, be that as it may, and the midfielder wins a pleasant ranch to it and input through the heaviness of the wheel. We like this execution arranged structure.

Every trim level advantage from standard 3.5-liter V-6, which gives smooth and easy quickening. With a strength rating of 300 drive, the V-6 still has the vitality to save for a snappy move to expressway speeds.

It is coupled to a ceaselessly factor programmed transmission is modified to go about as an exemplary low-speed programmed for a more customary driving knowledge, as indicated by Nissan.

The Maxima demonstrates how CVT innovation has arrived as of late, at any rate when joined with an intense motor. It is in its most watchful, with only an insight of buzz connected with this sort of transmission amid hard speeding up.

On the off chance that you have been driving an auto with a routine programmed, this won’t appear to be odd or distinctive CVT.

One of the upsides of a CVT transmission is that it is able to do quickly expanding the speed of the engine when more power is coveted in light of the fact that it is important to move to a lower speed. CVT Maxima is exceptionally delicate; Press the gas pedal and the motor speed increments quickly, giving more power.

CVTs by and large increment fuel utilization, and Maxima EPA-evaluated 25 mpg consolidated documentation best most contenders V-6 for some mpg or less. An exemption is the Acura TLX V-6-controlled, which has a similar rating and uses nine-speed programmed.

2016 Nissan Maxima 3.5 Platinum Inside Overview

The general quality and tender loving care is great. The standard calfskin wrapped directing wheel can rest easy; It is far better in the SR, which has recreated softened cowhide Alcantara embeds. The upper areas of the entryways are done with delicate touch materials that is agreeable to option entryway armrests.

The inside reassure has a cushioned area to bolster the knee against, and no genuine sewing on the entryways, comfort and dashboard. One component that does not appear the premium, in any case, is the mimicked metal complete on the dash, entryways and focus reassure. It doesn’t appear to be genuine.

The contenders likewise reported the format of the cockpit controls, as per Nissan. The middle board of the control board is tilted 7 degrees to the driver and the controls on the inside reassure are inside simple reach.

It is a more exact path contrasted with a few contenders of the full size lodge. I need to drive with the raised seat if conceivable, and the SL, which is one of two adornments with a twofold board sunroof board, my head brushing always against the roof. For better basic unbending nature, the SR does not have a sunroof, and the extra front half-inch tallness helps extensively.

The roofline of the new Maxima is under 1.3 inches, which adds to the alluring look sounded down. Luckily, perceivability is not traded off; Future perspectives are great, similar to perceivability on the shoulders.

The Maxima has the most recent form of the front seats motivated Nissan Gravity NASA. They are done in texture (S), cowhide (SV and SL), calfskin upholstered with Alcantara embeds (SR) or premium cowhide with cushioned cowhide embeds (Platinum).

They feel somewhat more smooth than most basin seats, which have a tendency to have a firmer damping. I thought they were happy with amid a day of driving, however in the event that you incline toward a firm seat pad, they may take some that used to – in the event that you do it by any stretch of the imagination.

The back seat is not as substantial as the Impala or Avalon, but rather is sufficiently expansive to convey grown-up travelers serenely. Like the front seat territory, the all encompassing sunroof lessens the accessible headroom.

2016 Nissan Maxima 3.5 Platinum Ergonomics and Electronics

The entryway controls and dashboard are very much associated, however the area of the Normal and Sport Mode catches propel determination is an issue; They are back near the focal armrest, and you should turn your arm adroitly to press one. Catches nearer to the dash – or even on the directing wheel – would be better.

Computerized screens take speedier cockpits from present day autos, and there are two in the Maxima: 7-inch between the markers and a 8-inch touch screen in the focal point of the dashboard. Show set of markers permits to do distinctive approaches to show data, for example, speed and obviously, travel information, tire weight and dynamic security highlights.

The dashboard screen is the principle screen for standard route and media framework capacities. The control board remote control in the inside comfort can likewise work the dashboard of the touch screen.

2016 Nissan Maxima 3.5 Platinum Stacking and Capacity

The storage compartment of 14.3 cubic feet of Maxima is littler than the vast majority of its rivals, yet is around 1 bigger than the TLX cubic foot. The storage compartment is very much shaped and the storage compartment cover moving bolster arms in a shut territory, so there is no danger of pulverizing its heap.

Leave supports for 60/40 raise collapsing seat are in the storage compartment. The back seats overlay down with the storage compartment floor.

The Maxima has a media compartment before the container holders in the inside comfort. The compartment is sufficiently huge for an iPhone 6 or more, as indicated by Nissan, and is likewise where are the two standard USB parking spaces.

2016 Nissan Maxima 3.5 Platinum Security
