Toyota "Yes" TV Campaign

When one of the top selling automobile brands in the nation starts preparing for an ad campaign, they need big ideas. That’s why Toyota works with beloved former 49er quarterback Steve Young – who has also been a faithful customer for many years. In the past, Toyota and their esteemed partner Hoffman/Lewis had found success with the expertise of Beyond Pix Studios, so the Hoffman/Lewis creative team called Beyond Pix Studios to produce the 3 commercials for the “Yes” ad campaign, starring Steve Young… and co-starring various Toyotas.
Because the team would be working with celebrity talent, the time allocated for filming his shots would be limited – Steve Young had only eight hours on one single day, so each second of filming had to be optimized to the hilt. To this end, the team would have to find one local town that could provide 3 different looks for each commercial, and that town needed one long and scenic road to use the process trailer for the running footage. Filming had to be dead on every time.
Beyond Pix Studios had exactly the expertise needed: director of photography Norman Bonney, who specializes in automotives, and cameraman Pete Fuszard, whose passion for car shoots is backed by a wealth of car-filming experience. Under the direction of Sharon Krinsky, President of Hoffman/Lewis, the team discovered the perfect location in San Rafael. All of the process trailer work was shot on one road making it appear as though Steve was driving when in fact he was not. The diverse scenery on the road enabled the team to shoot Steve “driving” the car from various angles with different backgrounds, which gave each commercial the look and feel of an entirely different location without the hassle of having to go anywhere. Additional footage of Steve Young with the “yes” signs was filmed on a cul-de-sac near by. On-platform audio was added and the partnered team of Beyond Pix Studios, Hoffman/Lewis and Toyota could once again, shout “yes!” for a job well done.
