Google “Life Unfolds | An Origami Story” by WTBR and State

The challenge of humanizing Big Tech and grounding the benefits in an emotional story is conquered with charm and visual wit in this brand film for Google from the all-California team of State and Where The Buffalo Roam.

Director/CD Marcel Ziul at State in LA: “We tried to fold every single object in this project with our pals at WTBR and Google to portrait the brilliant mind of Nobuyuki Yamaga, a traditional Japanese origami artist.

“His unique approach to making beautiful origamis while dealing with blindness is a real inspiration to all of us.”
