Partizan director Antoine Bardou Jacquet and the VFX crew at Electric Theatre Collective distance Genesis from heritage luxury vehicle brands with a horde of antiquated light bulbs (yes, ideas) chasing the 2026 GV70 SUV.
Jason Sperling, CCO at agency Innocean USA: “In a segment dominated by many venerable old badges, we wanted to make the point that old thinking can be an enemy to progress and originality. The GV70 isn’t weighed down by a long history and those legacy ideas, represented here by weathered, steampunk light bulbs.”
For more VFX-heavy work from the team of Antoin Bardou Jacquet and ETC, we highly recommend watching this Coca-Cola x Marvel epic and this fun Audible spot.
