Project:
Toyota 'Adventures'
LA Live in downtown Los Angeles has always been something we wanted to create content for. With Saatchi LA, we finally had the chance to create a journey through the iconic landscape of LA, following the Toyota RAV4 as it traveled from the beaches to the hills to downtown. From location to location we developed different ways to introduce the vehicle, posing it in any manner from a simply heroic angle to something that becomes much more dynamic, interacting with the stage around it and coordinating and choreographing the animation among the screens at the venue.

LA Live Experience
The LA Live screens became a significant part of our design exploration. Playing with the interaction of the displays and how we could animate the RAV4 through the environment was incredible. When we visited and were able to experience it ourselves, the playfulness of the transitions and use of the secondary and tertiary screens made us feel like we were on a journey ourselves.
