Welcome aboard – a fantastical journey awaits.
In Hornet’s second global holiday campaign for La Mer, the voyaging Crème Crew sets sail across fantastical seas and skies, exchanging gifts and making charming new friends along the way.
Director Samuel Jerome Mason brings this whimsical world to life through richly textured layers inspired by mid-century Czech puppetry and luxury holiday window displays. Defined forms, theatrical lighting, and carefully composed spaces give each scene the intimacy of a miniature stage, all brought to life with a distinct stop-motion sensibility.

Everything from the shimmering snowflakes to the paper stars imbue the journey with glistening, tactile splendor.
