This video was commisioned by KCD Worldwide, a fashion public relations and publishing industry. It features fashion designer Zac Posen interviewing fashion director Joan Kaner. It it very interesting to watch since the main characters are drawings of themselves talking with each other. There seems to be two different styles of animation. One consists of pictures being drawn as line art in front of you and morphing into new images. The other style, with the characters talking to each other, might be "rotoscoping". If anyone can tell me what type of animation is being used, please do. The two styles separate the video into what I call "real" time, and "history" time.
It is animated by award-winning Juan Delcan, a native of Madrid who began his career as a graphic designer but is now primarily a live action director.
This is a link to another recent animation by Delcan: The 13 Clocks
