Story Did you ever sit on a plane and asked yourself: Who are all those people around me? Where is this guy flying to and who is waiting for her?

Traveling is about more than just getting from A to B. It’s about people and their stories. They travel for all kinds of reasons: big decisions, small moments, for love, or to get over it. No matter how different their worlds might be, one thing, they all have in common: They said Yes to something.

“Every story starts with a Yes” is a film that captures the value beyond flying and opens a new chapter for German Aviation Brand Lufthansa. An unseen storytelling connects individual narratives through a playful lense: On our cinematic journey, we observe people and their stories, imagining their backgrounds, intentions and relationships.

We wanted to separate their world inside the aircraft and their imagination of the people they observe there by choosing two different aspect ratios. 16:9 on the plane and a more boxed 4:3 dreamlike world for their imagination. We chose various lens sets and color grading techniques to differentiate the stories and give each of them a unique feel.

The overall piece is driven by the spirit to craft something extraordinary, yet deeply human and relatable. The different stories come together at the end, leading to the same powerful message. An inspirational view on traveling: It all starts with a Yes.
A new Lufthansa Genre is born.
