ENGLISH SYNOPSIS :

Brand communication film for Toyota's sports car brand "GR."
This film captures the extreme movements of cars competing in various events such as the WRC, Dakar Rally, and 24 Hours of Le Mans. It is filmed in super slow motion from an extremely close distance, akin to capturing the movements of wild animals.
Our significant challenge was not relying on digital techniques such as zoom-in that are used in race filming but rather focusing on how closely racing cars and the camera can physically approach each other. It was a collaboration between precise driving skills at the millimeter level and shooting techniques with the same level of precision.
The visuals portray the movements of industrial products (the cars), as if they are beautiful wild animals living in the natural world, creating an immersive experience in the footage.
