Avkash Shah, a 3D graphic/motion designer from Mumbai and wanted to intern at CRED, a credit card payments company which has been on the forefront for its innovative advertisements. 

So, as to showcase his talent, he came up with an innovative way to apply for the company using a 3D video and uploading it on LinkedIn.
