Cool Ad: The Street is His Turntable

Here’s an ad for DJ equipment maker Eclectic Breaks for its Pro-X-Fade crossfader. It’s a clever animation that has a pencil-armed DJ manipulating a miniature world from his god-like perch, spinning cars as if they were vinyl, with the street being his turntable and passers-by standing in as the crossover.
