Quriosity Productions director Michael Maes new Frito Lay Cheddar Jalapeno Spot is far from cheesy and packs a fiery punch. In this spot, the elements of the new chip flavor don’t just steal the spotlight, they bask in it too. Playing like a trailer for an Oscar®-winning movie, this spot transports you from caves of cheddar and valleys of jalapenos to inside the chip bag itself. The flavor cues are working with every shot, captured using macro style lensing. Maes is no stranger to creating epic and beautifully-composed tabletop footage, and this shoot allowed for his strengths to truly shine.
