AKQA has put an inventive twist on the well-known festive tune 'Jingle Bells' with the aid of 49 microwaves. In a meticulously crafted piece, the digital agency programmed a stack of the kitchen appliances to play the jingle. Directed by Jonty Toosey and produced by Bikini and AKQA.Film, the piece took almost a week of planning and a whole day to capture.
