First things first, shout out to all my readers who own a Toyota! My first car was a 2007 Camry, aka Killa Cam, and it was my partner in crime (not literally but, you know). I went on so many adventures and had so many memories in that car that it was hard for me to have to sell it over a year ago when I moved to NYC to become apart of the #TrainLife movement. My favorite thing to do was cruise down the sawgrass expressway (South Florida waddup!) with my music blasting and thats exactly what I did on the ride to make the sale. The last two songs I played were Gucci Mane “Trap Back” and Coldplay “Green Eyes” – talk about diversity right? HA!
Enough about me though. With Toyota forever having a place in my heart, I’m always interested in looking at their new models and/or any cool things they have going on. Remember the Corolla campaign I got to do back in 2014? Check it out if you haven’t already but just as cool as that was, so is this new Gifony microsite!
So what is it exactly? Well let me say to all my producers and good ol’ lovers of sound, keep reading as this is something I’m certain you’ll be interested in.
To build something well, all parts must perform in sync and stick to rhythm. That’s the beauty of process – it never misses a beat. That said, Toyota created a series of 45 vibrant Gifs that showcase different elements of building a car from start to finish. Each Gif is associated with an industrial sound (e.g.: engine starting, car door closing, metal clanking, etc.) captured from a real Toyota plant! Sick, right? So now through an interactive microsite, users can string together these sounds to create a symphony of gifs: a “Gifony”! Music + Toyota? Love it!
Now, if you’re interested in creating a Gifony of your own, I’ve collaborated with Toyota for you guys to do just that and leave a link to your song in the comments section below for an opportunity to win $100 credit to Ticketmaster! That could mean Drake tickets, just saying.
If you need some inspiration before creating your own, Toyota partnered with YouTube Launchpad artist SoNevable to create an original song that definitely had me sitting here like whaaaaatttttttt. See below:
Good luck!!!
