Inside Johnnie Walker and Robert Carlyle's Brand Film for the Ages
This week on Tagline, we look at BBH London's magnificent single-take spot from 2009
This week on Tagline, we time-travel to 2009 to revisit BBH London’s five-minute brand-history film for Johnnie Walker, with Robert Carlyle in a virtuosic performance, shot in a single take. It’s a story of great writing, camerawork and theatrical visual storytelling—as well as soaking rain, insects, and last-minute problems with legal.
