Toyota’s first-ever GR Corolla pushes the limits of performance further than ever before. So Hero pushed the limits of filmmaking with a two-minute content piece, Metalmorphosis, which brings together cinematography and stunt driving to tell the Gazoo Racing story. With an abandoned raceway as the backdrop, hundreds of illustrated frames were pasted along over 1.2 kilometres of barriers, tunnels, and track. Cameras mounted inside and outside the car then captured the static artwork at speed to create a number of live animations – no visual effects, no post, no green screens.
