When Droga5 got in touch from New York to ask if we wanted to pitch on a commercial to launch the new hydrogen powered Toyota we jumped at the chance to be involved in such a pioneering point in the history of motoring. We then received a truly brave script that engages the viewer in the provocative and absorbing debate surrounding this sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.
Brief
The brief called for simplicity, elegance, and sophistication in the film, whilst ensuring a palpable sense of a human hand in the visual storytelling. This felt like an incredibly refreshing and inventive way of marketing a new car and was something we were thrilled to be a part of. The sensibilities of the project were completely aligned with our creative approach and working methods as a studio.
Approach
Working closely with the creative team at Droga5, our winning response was to craft a rich visual journey that breathes life into the film’s dialogue in a variety of visual ways, whilst maintaing a seamless flow and coherent aesthetic.
The line was used as a repeat motif and the visual element that leads us through the film. Beginning with the carbon line representing our current use of archaic fossil fuels, through the crumbling carbon city until it’ is finally reborn as the blue ‘hydrogen paved highway’; Toyota’s vision for the future of car propulsion.
Post production and animation was expertly handled by the talented team at Analog.
