Am I the only one who is bothered when there are sub-titles for people whom I have no trouble understanding. His Scotch accent isn’t so thick it needs subtitles.

They do this on Food network to Morimoto and it bugs be every time.

A staggering ad for whiskey.

I did notice he kept looking down at the subtitles, which is pretty impressive, because the words would have appeared backwards to him.

i’m more of a crown royal man myself (there current ad campaign is a good one, i think) but this is an excellent ad.

I’d imagine that just outside cameraview there are a bunch of guys running their socks off and fire out of their shoes and their lungs and hearts out to place all those props at exactly the right point when the actor comes at certain points in his script. He uses some kind of autocue for the viewer somewhere in the left-low corner for himself right lower corner just outside the camera, because that is where he looks most. And then -I again imagine- when he walks away, that whole crew of prop-placers nearly drop to the ground fully out of air, just Bégging the producer Nót to do jet anóther take because they just can Nót do that run again…

I’m more impressed, as always in shots like this, by the cameraman.

Ah ok, that makes more sense.

Justin, it’s obviously some ADR at work here. (Automatic Dialog Replacement). I noticed a couple of times when it didn’t quite match his lips perfectly. I wonder if that take was the first; there were so many opportunities for failure requiring them to back up and start again.

What I find interesting, is he keeps his walking at quite a brisk pace, and yet his breathing doesn’t seem to change once. The guy must be in pretty good shape.

Jo, you should try Crown Royal. Jack Daniels is a little potent in taste, which is why I have it with Coke.

Fantastic – I was totally riveted for the entire 6 minutes – and I don’t even care about whiskey. Robert Carlyle is an amazing storyteller – and, the perfect use of (a few) props.

Awesome. A great example of telling a brand story, as much as I think whiskey tastes horrible.
