WaMu gets down tonight in the bank's retro 30-second disco commercial. Currently on TV, the spot features a young man catching dance fever on roller skates when he learns he'll get free checking for life at Washington Mutual.
The neon-lighted skate sequence flashes by in a blink during the commercial. But thankfully, the actual shoot took long enough for photographer David Strick to don his boogie shoes while capturing the action on a 20th Century Fox sound stage in February. Kristian Pasion, a young San Francisco-based dancer, auditioned and won the role of the young man who dreams of roller disco stardom.
