FILMING AIRBNB
P
Working with some lovely people at Airbnb, TBWA/Chiat Day & RSA Films we went on a world tour ( literally circled the globe) filming Airbnb’s biggest advertising campaign so far. We filmed in Tokyo, Bangkok, Paris, New York and LA, traveling with these crazy people for over 6 weeks. Following are some snaps of our travels.
And you can watch the ‘Anthem’ commercial here.
