Land O' Lakes - Tub Butter Diaries

Stop Mo

This is some text inside of a div block.

Charming miniatures and spreadable butter meet in this smart, simple campaign for Land O Lakes.

Collaborating with a team of expert craftspeople, Kyle orchestrated the creation of a delightful miniature farm-scape, magically brought to life through stop-motion animation. Much like the smooth, spreadable nature of Land O'Lakes butter, the intricately crafted farm elements gracefully traverse the tabletop, seamlessly converging like the pieces of a captivating jigsaw puzzle.

The film weaves together two essential concepts: the farm-to-table journey of Land O'Lakes products and the effortless spreadability of the butter itself. From the meticulous set design to the subtle subtext, textures, and techniques, each detail contributes with precision and purpose, enriching the narrative in a subtly profound manner. The harmonious dance between live action and stop-motion animation breathes life into the dual-concept storyline. The fabricated farm scene draped upon a real-world dining table symbolizes the farm-to-table ethos, while the miniature world unfolding hints at the graceful way butter curls as it spreads.
