A blue Toyota Tacoma drives through the sand

Dareful Handle

Framestore's VFX team, led by Creative Director James Rogers, worked with agency Saatchi & Saatchi, director Tarsem and production company Radical Media for Toyota's adrenaline-pumping Super Bowl LVIII ad.

The Big Game spot highlights the range of emotions passengers experience as they grip the passenger side handle for dear life.
