YCN - Social Kitchen

Monochrome aesthetic interspersed with spontaneous colour, photographic imagery - an effective balance of the two.

Top 10 - American Express advert

I just saw this on TV and went searching online for it - I could only find this example but the animation is similar, albeit with a few small differences.
