Behind the Scenes of “Airbnb: A Different Paris”

The popularity of Zoetropes is certainly linked to our current love of all things analogue: meaning handmade, warmer and somehow more honest. But now that TBWA Singapore and Airbnb have created this 12 1/2 foot-wide monster, the question becomes: Did we just hit peak Zoetrope?

The numbers:
• 11,256 parts
• 1,476 figurines (which took a 16-member crew 648 hours to paint)
• 2,340 man-hours to assemble
• Build schedule: Three weeks
• Diameter: 3.8 meters
• Height 1.5 meters
