ABOUT

Titled Metalmorphosis, the film merges camera and car to tell the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing story through ground-breaking live action animation - no VFX, no post, no green screening.

With a dilapidated Calder Park Thunderdome as the backdrop, hundreds of illustrated frames spanning over 1200m were pasted along the barriers, tunnels and track. Car mounted cameras inside and out of the car then captured the static artwork at speed to create a number of live animations.

The individual animations and a giant custom-built Zoetrope, tell the stories of Toyota’s long-standing history in motorsport and performance vehicles, the global expansion of TOYOTA GAZOO Racing, finally culminating in a sequence dedicated to the launch of the GR Corolla itself.
