Antoine Bardou Jacquet and ETC Outrun Old Ideas in Bright New Spot for the Genesis GV70 SUV

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.
