Description:


    This spot challenges the imagination by bringing impossible transformations to life: horses turn into butterflies, butterflies turn into greyhounds, greyhounds turn to silk cloth. And silk cloth transforms into the new, re-designed Corolla. The horse was shot as live action against mountains on a desert floor. Mountains, desert floor, and sky were removed, tracked, and replaced with new elements (some of the tracking was completed in Boujou). Butterflies were modeled and animated as particles in Maya. Silk cloth was created and animated in Maya. Transitions, color work, and all other 2D tasks were completed with Inferno.
