Project:
Lexus 'Eclipse'
We love being able to share in a brand’s growth. With Lexus’s LF-C2 concept, the automaker wanted to mark a new era of design ingenuity, and to do so, we crafted an epic journey in which light is a central theme. Playing with illumination and carefully manipulating shadow, we hoped to tell a story with atmospheric wonder and stunning visuals. By hand-painting vast, dreamlike expanses and weaving them with tightly composed shots of the vehicle’s sleek contour, our goal was to leave viewers ruminating on the exciting future of automotive design.
