“Light Moves,” a spot for Mazda via JWT, Dusseldorf, pits man against machine in a ballet of light. Directed by Jorn Threlfall of Outsider, the ad - now airing in Europe and the UK - depicts a standoff of sorts between an artist and a new Mazda3, as each tries to outdo the other with the light shapes they create.
“We created imaginary light installations in a surreal environment on the water,” says Threlfall of the night shoot in Barcelona. “It felt like a mad, modernist playground. We had to complete the trajectory of the light in our minds. Important was a sense of elegance and grace, a balletic movement from the artist and car alike.”
The director achieves just that, as his lead - a French artist and musician - commands the light emanating from his fingertips as the car encircles him and answers his challenges at every turn. In the end, the two come together, their light-lines forming the image of a Mazda3 in the night sky. “I give a lot of credit to (VFX house) MPC,” Threlfall says. “This project required the right combination of reality and fantasy, and striking that balance is always a challenge.”
