Getting a great car at a great price makes people feel like superheroes. Authors ran with the idea of being a deal superhero to the next level by incorporating comic book animation style.

With 12 different DMAs, California has some of the most diverse Toyota dealerships in the country, each with a specific sales event, deal and car focus. Authors needed to create a modular creative framework that incorporated both California iconography and was modular enough to incorporate different offers on multiple vehicles and be seasonally specific for every deal event throughout the year: Presidents Day, July 4th and Black Friday.

The comic book style illustration allowed for realistic 3D camera turns inspired by the superhero movies we all love. Integrating California landmarks like wind farms, trollies, beaches and Lombard Street allowed for regional queues specific to different parts of California.

For three straight years, Authors created 3 framework videos to be versioned into 54 different assets (18 per region) to support each holiday sales event.
