ACROSS AMERICA
As American Pickers entered its 20th season, we knew we had to do something special to celebrate this milestone. The series follows Mike, Frank and Danielle as they travel across the country searching for everything from small trinkets to large antique vehicles. With only 30 seconds to tell our story, the team came up with a simple and elegant solution that portrays the varying landscapes and characters they meet along the way. We created a single continuous camera move that orbits the guys along their journey. While the duo remains in stride, the backgrounds match cut from scene to scene as they meet colorful characters and collect objects across America. The first location begins at sunrise and as we progress through each location the sun slowly sets into early evening. Eventually Mike and Frank get into their sprinter van and hit the road before returning back home to the iconic shop Antique Archeology.
