The sun is shining and you can practically smell the farm-fresh cilantro. In an ode to a brighter future, Chipotle celebrates its dedication to local and sustainable farming.
To bring this journey to life, Hornet Director Yves Geleyn created an expansive CG world inspired by the colors of Chipotle ingredients and the paper of the iconic bags. In fact, every element was carefully crafted to reflect the real-world texture, flexibility, and limitations of a Chipotle paper bag. No stranger to navigating miniature worlds, Yves referenced classic stop motion techniques to create dynamic movement that retains a sense of grounded realism.
As the organic and free-range ingredients journey past the polyculture farms and through the American countryside, a new world literally and figuratively unfolds in a symphony of paper.
