Three Mobile - Funk Pony Mixer

The Pony Mixer was an online campaign where people could customise the TV commercial with different themes, haircuts, clothes and backgrounds. I made 2 of the themes, Funk & Bollywood which had hundreds of variations and required a lot of organising. We had about 2 weeks to complete each theme.
