This completely off-the-wall ad for Lux soap takes the viewer on a bizarre Phileas Fogg style journey around the globe.

A beautiful brunette in a bath full of foam, suspended from a huge pink hot air balloon encourages women around the world to "Play with Beauty". She floats over rustic cornfields where utterly enraptured female labourers are inspired to stick beauty spots on their faces. Her journey takes us to Moscow, where old Russian crones, totally out of character, cannot resist a slick of red lipstick. In a Moroccan market, ladies gaze at their idol in the sky and smear their faces with grains and spices. This Lux woman is so bewitching that a passing pilot crashes his plane into a hillside, much to the amusement of our protagonist.

James and Daniel at Glassworks built the 3D balloon which was carefully composited in throughout the commercial. Toby and Sheldon completed crowd replacement and created backgrounds from stills and live action.
