There's No Business Like Shoe Business

A few moths ago I had the opportunity to work on a stop-motion video featuring the history Nike's legendary Cortez Shoe with Nike designer Eric Duvauchelle. The thirty-seven second clip was posted to the Nike.com web site. We were working in a building where the Nike archive is located. It was very amazing to be in a room full of Nike history. We shot almost 1,000 images to put this thing together. The best momnet of the shoot was when Eric discovered the large Cortez shoe costume and decided to put himself in it for the video. And of course I had to take a stab at walking in his shoes.

Here are some pictures from behind the scenes:
