Type S: Chiaki’s Journey II



“Chaiki's Journey Season II" is an epic micro-series featuring the new Integra Type S from Acura, following the heart-racing journey of Chiaki, a Kakkoī racecar driver.
The visual style is an impressionistic approach, with lively brush strokes that contrast with the sleek and industrial nature of the cars. The colour palette also plays a significant role in the storytelling, with warm tones symbolising hope and victory and cold tones representing danger and challenge, the trademark colours of this season's villain, the wicked Pikes Peak.

Directed by Sam Taylor and JuanPe Arroyo Molina.
