This song, Be The One, the main reason we're doing a video for this.
I feel like loads of fans were going crazy on social media,
just kind of hashtagging justice for Be The One.
So it'll be exciting to release it.
When I heard that they wanted to do a video for it,
the treatment came in and it was very original.
Most importantly, I really like this song.
Lexus came to us and said, we want to reach a new audience.
We want to do something different that's brave,
that's visionary, that engages the audience on their terms.
The Lexus IS, it appeals to a young audience,
and so does the music video.
It's a perfect match for us.
In this music video, the lit IS is definitely like a supporting actor.
Certainly can't steal any of Dua Lipa's shine.
She's certainly the star in the video.
But, you know, the car brings a whole new life to the video.
It sort of dictated the aesthetic and it sort of projects itself onto Dua.
We started with a blank car and decided that, you know,
we would put as many LEDs on the car to turn it into an interactive piece of art.
Our kind of key to the campaign was sending a signal.
And we thought one of the best ways to send a signal is to
completely cover this car in something which can send a signal.
And that was LEDs.
And we ended with a car with 42,000 LED lights.
And we are using a special mode that is actually generating visuals
based on Dua Lipa's song.
When I saw it for the first time, I was pretty blown away by it.
The way the lights kind of move to sound and to the way I move,
it kind of, it's like in sync with humans.
Car is sick.
Hopefully they let me borrow it and I'll tear it up.
Having someone like Ansel in the video is really exciting for me.
He's just brought something very, very special to this video
and getting some acting tips.
I think this is the beginning for her and I'm fortunate to be part of it.
I'm excited looking back being like, you know,
I'm in like Dua's first music video.
Back when she's Rihanna or whatever she's going to become.
She's going to be a really big star and we feel incredibly proud
to be able to actually, maybe in just a little bit,
just try and accelerate her career.
This is why I do this, to give my fans a real authentic experience.
Yeah, and it's important to me.
