Reply #12: Ugh. Pity; the ad was a work of art, too. [View All]

That wouldn't just be a guy walking down a road; timing and filming that well would have been incredibly difficult and involved a lot of attempts. It's in one take; if there weren't several, maybe even dozens, of other botched ones sitting among increasingly empty bottles of whiskey, I wouldn't be surprised in the least. Long shots like that are very, very hard to do well.

That said, it's an absolute travesty if they're cutting off ties with the town the label actually originated in, though. They need to catch hell for a stunt like that, especially if it's right on the heels of an advertisement playing up their history. Ugh.
