About the Work

In 2020 not a lot of people were traveling to Oregon (or anywhere, really.) And if they were, they weren’t visiting anywhere off the beaten path. So in this campaign we wanted people to go deeper than Oregon’s greatest hits. We wanted to show that every inch of this place, down to its most fundamental things, is extraordinary. That’s why we chose to focus our campaign on the three most basic elements that make up Oregon – soil, water, and rocks. We knew that a traditional medium could never show this place in a way that captured the beauty of Oregon, but we knew we could recreate the feeling of being here. So using a magical combination of stop motion, puppetry, found footage, practical effects, we recreated one of Oregon's most interesting restaurants, a full scale forest you can walk through, a model of the deepest lake in the U.S., and 23 other sets of real Oregon locations and landscapes.
