A Christmas Love Story

Framestore partners with adam&eveDDB for ‘Christmas Love Story’ directed by Oscar-winner Tom Hooper.

The ad begins with a chance encounter between two people who meet on a train and hastily exchange a phone number on the back of a National Lottery ticket. When the girl realises the number is smudged, we are left willing the pair to come back together. With the news of an unclaimed winning lottery ticket, the tension mounts. Ultimately, the couple reunite, lucky in love and the lottery, making this Christmas a truly magical one. The ad encourages the public to take a chance and believe in the magic of hope and possibility this Christmas.

Framestore provided the VFX with grade by Simon Bourne at Company 3.
