Stardust is quite well-known for creating fully animated worlds with lots of intriguing content inside them -- but they also have a solid reputation for finding live-action techniques to address potentially complicated production challenges with results that are visually clean and elegant. We hope you'll agree that they achieved that clean elegance in the first spot in the WNBA "From 8 to 1" campaign they recently delivered for the creatives at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners -- and in the ones to come; the first spot will be followed by new versions over the weeks ahead featuring the players still in contention for the WNBA title.
