(download)

When the Boston agency, MMB wanted to create three new spots for their new Subway Fresh Fit campaign, they turned to Charlex for all the live-action, design and VFX work.

The new multi-channel campaign kicks off with TV spots that feature students who have an obsession with sneakers, so much so that they reinterpret famous moments in history.
