Detroit Never Left, Commercial, Ford

Ford’s new campaign centers around the city of Detroit and the renovation of The New Michigan Central Station. Weiden+Kennedy hired me to bring more energy to archival footage through animation and effects. I used a few of my bespoke effects, including some handcut stop motion animations and custom vintage footage filters.
