Sophisticatedly Simple

The simple can be sophisticated, and the sophisticated can be simple. It depends on your point of view, or perhaps on opening a Stella Artois.

To introduce the brand's new positioning, Stella Artois created a song that translated its lifestyle. Lucas crafted a lyric video using dynamic typography and paper-cut stop motion to help people connect with the song visually.

To make the stop-motion result feel more tactile, each frame from the original video was printed.

The animation was built at 12.5 frames per second, echoing the rhythm of classic frame-by-frame animation.
