He’s also the Director behind one of my favorite fan-createdFeist music videos featuring toy robots in rural China. This new promo video for Pepsi Max is set in an office, frozen in time, and is especially impressive because it’s shotwithoutthe help of CG or special effects. Invisible strings and tense body movements? Check. He describes it as:
