James Steven Beverly Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 This is a great one shot, long form Spot! Johnnie Walker I am just the P90X Workout System so I won't be hanging with Johnnie for 90 days... gonna miss 'em. Too bad for you!!! :D What impressed the Hell out of me was the acting. To have that much concentration and hit your marks so perfectly is amazing. I'm really good at hitting marks but this was something different. That guy's good. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keneu Luca Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) That was probably the best advertisement I've ever seen in my life. And for so many reasons. Yes, I agree, excellent acting. Great humor and authority and confidence. The story told was entertaining and engaging. I hope it's all true. Great location. Great concept "walking". Great music. I imagine Carlyle first did the walk and monologue several times and they set markers on where he would normally hit certain topics. And then set the props there.

Keneu Luca Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Im really surprised this hasn't had more of an impression on this forum. I've watched this several times already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Rakoczy Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 Me too Keneu. Maybe it's because they made it look so easy. The performance, steadi-cam, audio and grade make it seem effortless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Teulon Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm sorry guys but I don't think of it in the same light as you do. It is a good piece with great acting but its not amazing.....I see it as a job well done by professionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah. I dont expect it to appeal as strong to everyone. Like with any other project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Rakoczy Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 I did not think it was 'amazing'.... I was just commenting on how 'effortless' it looked... I stand by the statement that it is a great one shot, long form Spot... and difficult to pull off in every way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Rodgar Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Well done spot. There are few actors I can think of with the sure handedness of Robert Carlyle, whose performances are always amazing to watch. Al Pacino is one of the few other actors who I think rivals him in intensity and panache, if more over the top acting-wise.

Serge Teulon Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Guys, I wasn't pooping your comments. Just adding my thoughts. David - How do you fare it with McGarvey's one-long-shot in Atonement? Saul -I completely agree. Carlyle is one of those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Rakoczy Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi Serge, I did not take it that way at all. :) I just didn't want anyone to think I thought it was so fantastic! Certainly there are far more 'spectacular' spots/ shots out there. I just marvel at how smooth our work (can be) on screen... versus the often awkward and difficult mechanics we have to deal with, including Talent, to get a single shot... and when it all comes together it is seamless. Magical. We all know how they are made, We make them. But they still have power over us.... to move us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reviewed the post and in hindsight I was directing my thoughts towards the comments from the guy in the link you provided. But hey, that is the kind of response we all work really hard to generate.

David Rakoczy Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Case in point... looks a lot easier than it actually is... naturally. Several day shoot and used the last take... take 40 of a 6 1/2 minute one-taker. Thanks Xavier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
