Directed and produced by Shilpa Sunthankar, Fashionbuddha created this piece with Sockeye for the international marketing firm Waggener Edstrom. Sockeye had the great idea of telling the story of a Waggener Edstrom employee as she takes a marketing project from idea to launch; the story would be told by animating live action through photographs... and in reverse. After shoots in Las Vegas at CES, Seattle and even Times Square, and hundreds of photographs later, we put together this piece that the client was elated about and launched on the homepage of their new site.
