Title:


    Johnnie Walker - Human

Director(s):


Company / Institution / Agency:


  • The Mill

Description:


    The latest 60-second film for Johnnie Walker brings to life the brand’s philosophy of personal progress and provides an antidote to the prevailing view that the future will be dominated by technology and run by machines.

    The commercial focuses on the musings of a highly intelligent and powerful Android and his desire to have the innate human drive and creativity that cannot be manufactured. He would exchange infinite life for the ability to do “one great thing.” The creative team felt that the idea of “progress” was an opportunity to celebrate the human spirit.

    Director Dante Ariola and designer Christopher Glass created “Human” with the help of The Mill’s 3D and 2D teams. The biggest challenge for The Mill was striking the delicate balance required to create the perfect human-android combination. The whole process took four months and was one of the most unusual commercial post-production jobs that The Mill have ever tackled.
