Warren du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones collaborated with
Glassworks to create this unique piece to promote Johnnie
Walker's finest Blue Label whiskey for BBH New York.
What started as a stills campaign - far more in keeping with
the boys' usual realm of fashion photography - became an abstract,
arty film with a totally unique look. The viewer can just
about make out the shape of a man making his way through a
room, a mass of golds, beiges, browns and black, swirling
as oil would sit on water. He bypasses what looks to be a
sultry woman and moves towards his ultimate destination: a
bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label. The tagline reads: "For
those who know what to look for".
The whole scene was shot in live action and all the distortion
created in post, specifically Adam Leary's work in After Effects. |
