Airbnb: Santastrophe
Jan 2025
Airbnb presents Santastrophe, a holiday-themed animated commercial that follows Santa Claus navigating a hotel during a busy festive season. The narrative centres on the logistical challenges of gift delivery within a hospitality setting, highlighting the intersection of traditional holiday imagery and modern travel accommodation. The production employs detailed 3D render / CGI techniques to achieve a tactile, stop-motion style aesthetic. Warm indoor lighting is used to create visual contrast against the cool winter exterior, rendered in a rich palette of deep reds, golds, and blues. Sound design and music for the project were provided by Wave Studios NY.
