Post-production work is often – as it should be – invisible. In this new spot for Toyota, our VFX team developed the smooth transitions between shots to create the forward-moving momentum that powers the film's narrative. Starting with the CG takeover of the car’s electric plug, some of the main tasks were shot stitching, sky replacements and set extensions, along with some clean-up. Real scenarios were blended in with the CG roads and landscape crafted by our 3D artists; including a full CG takeover of the bowling alley shot. To finish it all up: 3D textures, compositing and, of course, Scott Harris’ beautiful colour grade.
It was truly a pleasure teaming up with our old friends at The&Partnership, Iconoclast and director Rob Chiu on this new commercial for the Toyota bZ4X. We hope you enjoy it!
