THE CHALLENGE
Take It Up a Notch
Genesis Motor is at the forefront of luxury vehicles. With a new sedan on the horizon, the South Korean automakers knew they needed a spot that would continue to emphasize its alluring design and vitality. Rather than start this project from the ground up, Genesis came to us with a finished launch spot for the 2022 model of the G70 Luxury Sports Sedan that we were asked to repurpose in a way that would elevate the brand to the next level.
THE APPROACH
Follow the Copper Dust Road
The G70 is a piece of art with a lot of raw power as a machine, but plenty of beauty in its design. The core idea of our repurposing method was to create ownable visual effects and graphics that encapsulate that balance between athleticism and artistry.
We created a design system with copper at the helm, using particle trails to create an echo of where the car passes, with a metallic dust that punctuates the speed of the car and the beauty of its lines. There are moments of the live action with VFX, mixed in with moments of pure abstraction. We isolated features of the car and the design lines, so the abstract constructs are inspired by areas such as the profile of the car and the design of the rims, heightening the spot to a poetic representation of the G70.
With a ton of experimental effects firing on all cylinders, we looked at the overall feel of the original footage and elevated it to fall in line with the aspirational style we were giving the spot as a whole. We replaced grey skies with colorful golden hour lighting, we completely regraded every shot, and we incorporated editorial glitched effects in the wake of the G70’s movement. All helping to unite everything in a cohesive and stylish spot.

THE PAYOFF
Appearance Is Everything
The result was a high energy experimental edit that captured the sophisticated and provocative feel of driving the G70. Soundtracked by the youthful and upbeat sounds of Tkay Maidza’s “Shook,” we were truly able to communicate the confidence and ambition Genesis aimed for. One thing’s for sure, the sporty athleticism married to the luxury and artful elegance of the G70 is anything but ordinary.
