In a festive collaboration between Honda, RPA, and Hornet, the quest for a standout holiday sales campaign that would defy the norms of typical holiday spots. Hornet rose to the challenge by bringing together the visionary talents of Sam Mason, a CG wizard, and Peter Sluszka, a stop-motion virtuoso. Their synergy unwrapped the world of "Happy Honda Days" using the most iconic and nostalgic holiday material of all: wrapping paper. The magic unfolds through a bespoke blend of stop-motion and CGI animation, setting this campaign apart from the typical holiday fare and infusing it with a nostalgic and iconic charm.
