Johnny Walker - The Man Who Walked Around The World

Friday, 11 September 2009


I thought I'd draw your attention to this excellent advert for Johnny Walker whisky ("The Man Who Walked Around The World"), starring Robert Caryle. It's a six-minute long piece, filmed in one continuous take using a steadicam*, as Carlye regales the audience with the true story of Scottish distiller Johnny Walker. Anyway, it's a superb piece of work from director Jamie Rafn, with superlative timing from Carlye, so I recommend you give it a look. Then check out this informative interview with the director about its making.

* It apparently took 40 takes to get it perfect.
