The Man Who Walked Around The World

Well this TV spot is the best ad I've seen in a very very long time. I love it and just wanted to include it here in my blog so more people can appreciate it.

When finishing my film degree, my lecturer asked me what I was going to do in the 'real' world, once all the fun of studying was over. He wanted me to make up my mind about what my specialty would be. I think he actually said, "Jess, you can either be a jack of all trades and a master of none OR you can specialise." All I honestly wanted to do was make a beer commercial. Yep. I love beer commercials. I love their big budgets, high production values, they always have a bit of comedy, sometimes they're innovative and they just look like great fun to make.

Now that I'm a bit older and hopefully a tiny bit wiser, I have decided I would like to branch out and also make a Johnnie Walker ad. In fact, I wish I made this one.

I also wish I made "Inception", but my thoughts on that piece of brilliance is to come.

So, basically, this is just a well made TV spot, that makes me wish I liked whiskey. Enjoy the extraordinary, long, single shot.
