Dua Lipa's "Be the One" - LED-covered LIT IS

Agency: Team One

Description

To highlight the impressive styling of the new 2017 IS, Lexus today unveiled a custom vehicle wrapped in 41,999 programmable LEDs that turn the car into a screen capable of broadcasting dynamic graphics and videos. The car, which is designed to send a bold signal, is featured in UK chart-topping artist Dua Lipa’s new music video for her hit song “Be the One.” The first-of-its-kind collaboration pairs Dua Lipa’s powerful vocals with an ethereal storyline, featuring the vehicle as a character and visual anchor in a story that also casts actor Ansel Elgort (“Divergent”; “The Fault in Our Stars”) as Dua's former love.
This unique collaboration between Lexus and Vevo showcases the Lexus IS as an incredible work of art, technology and design through the lens of a music video. The 2017 IS has a commanding design and Lexus wanted to amplify those styling cues like never before. To create the LIT IS, Lexus used hand-applied LEDs to turn the vehicle into an eye-catching screen. In addition to broadcasting graphics, the LIT IS can also generate colorful, mesmerizing animations in response to gestures and music. Through this responsive technology and the animations, an expressive car was turned into an actual vehicle for expression, and the concept for a new Dua Lipa music video was born.

This professional campaign titled 'Dua Lipa's "Be the One" - LED-covered LIT IS' was published in United States in December, 2016. It was created for the brand: Lexus, by ad agency: Team One. This Content medium campaign is related to the Automotive industry and contains 2 media assets. It was submitted over 7 years ago.
