The Man who Walked Around the World

The mini-movie (I can’t call it commercial), for Johnnie Walker, The Man Who Walked Around The World, sees actor Robert Carlyle stride through a landscape dotted with doors and bars and portraits and TV stacks as he recounts the tale of how a humble Scottish farmer grew an international brand. The story itself is gripping enough, with compelling copy from BBH London’s Juston Moore, but what makes it all the more mesmerising is the fact the whole spot was shot in one take, with Carlyle and the camera operator navigating the treacherous countryside.
