PROJECT: ‘Defect Free’Â
Hino Motors Canada were looking for a way to promote their dedication to quality control.  After a truck comes off the assembly line, before it can be delivered to the waiting customer it goes through a rigorous and multifaceted inspection.
We pitched them on the idea of filming the inspection process and making a music video.  But we took it a step further.  While we were filming, we also recorded the over 200 distinct sounds made during the inspection process, sampled them and sent them to a composer.  The composer used the inspection sounds as notes, along with a little bit of organ, to compose ‘Defect Free’.

We decided early on in the creative process that it would be a shame to stop at a single video.  We settled on two shorter versions: a 35-sec version reformatted to 300 x 250 so it fit within the confines of a big box banner; and a 19-sec version [below] that they used in a pre-play campaign on the Today’s Trucking and Truck News websites.  The two additional videos ensured Hino maximized their ROI on this project.
