TOYOTA ‘TOUR 2023’

An original concept from Agency Hakuhodo & produced by Shootworksasia. I found this very exciting as I enjoy coming up with matching split-screens & almost literally changed most of the scenarios.  While we needed the scenes to make sense, to match but with strict dos & don’ts from the clients about revealing too much about their plant & production, it made it all the more challenging.  But as always, we’re up for the challenge, & to be honest, I’m very happy with the final product.  Introducing the Split-screens later & the manner in which it was introduced is something quite different from the usual split-screen ads.  We shot for 2 days; one day in the Toyota Assembly Plant, & with 2 different cars; the Harrier & the Cross.  The weather during the Golf scenes was good at first, but then it began to rain during the 2nd half of the shoot. So we had to wait a couple of hours, but as the sun was going down, we had no choice but to shoot when the rain slowed to a drizzle.  Shot with Eric Yeong as DP, and the 1st to use the brand new Arri Alexa 35 with the Freefly WaveCam for the high speed shots.  Shane Nunis was the 1st AD.  Edited & Onlined by Ng, and Onlined by Zeph, TentoSeven.
