The Mill continued their collaboration with director Pedro Romhanyi for this spring spot created by Krow. Lead 2D Artist Richard Payne used Flame to combine the many separate time-lapse elements for each shot and added extra lighting effects to give the commercial a fresh, early morning feel. Motion graphics and CG were then used to animate the carpet fibers, lamp, and animating flowers on the sofa cushions.

Producer Richard Hawkins comments, "This is a lovely, optimistic spot for DFS that nails the way spring can make us feel. As sunlight warms the patterns on the sofa, blooms open up and rugs start growing like ground cover across the wooden floor. Time-lapse photography works superbly here; creating the sense of a world quickening and responding as the season demands."
