Why is this work relevant for Sport?
We came by this question during the early stage of the project, "Why do humans instinctively feel a sense of wildness towards industrial products like cars?". For the first time as a sports car brand, we answered that question using the power of visuals.
Please provide any cultural context that would help the Jury understand any cultural, national or regional nuances applicable to this work.
True motorsports fans have been hungry for an opportunity to experience the power of analog, realistic cars, rather than cars processed by computer graphics and digital technology, as technology, such as automated driving, continues to advance. The challenge was to respond to this global fan insight with the power of film.
Background
This year, GR finally achieved 8 titles in the top category of world motorsports after six years since its brand's inception.
As proof of its quality, we collaborated with top drivers to create an unprecedented immersive brand film.
Describe the strategy & insight
True motorsports fans have been hungry for an opportunity to experience the power of analog, realistic cars, rather than cars processed by computer graphics and digital technology, as technology, such as automated driving, continues to advance. The challenge was to respond to this global fan insight with the power of film.
Describe the creative idea
In this film, we captured the extreme movements of cars competing in various events such as the WRC, Dakar Rally, and 24 Hours of Le Mans. We decided to film it in super slow motion from an extremely close distance, akin to capturing the movements of wild animals.
Describe the craft & execution
In December 2023, along with the announcement of drivers and competition cars for ToyotaGazooRacing2024, the video was simultaneously released digitally, on social networking sites, and through TV commercials.
Describe the results
As a result, the documentary garnered 60 million views in just one week after its release, and car enthusiasts around the world were captivated by the moments of reality it conveyed.
