Question: How many puppets does it take to get a good @polaroid picture?
Just one! But not without the help of a world class puppeteer and his two wranglers.
Don’t be fooled. It’s not as easy as everybody thinks..
You have to keep your camera still, use the flash if necessary, half press the button to set focus and exposure, and you don’t shake it afterwards!!
Thankfully we have Costumer Service Fred who explains it all to us in three action packed Episodes.
It’s not often that commercial projects become passion projects but when @tomrijpert asked us to join him in this pitch we knew it was going to be just that!
Thanks to the wonderful cast, crew and Polaroid for trusting us and of course the visionary Tom and Kitty for their hard work and enthusiasm to get ‘het onderste uit de kan’.
