What you need to do for the next six minutes

The standard for an unedited, steadicam shot has always been Goodfellas — the scene where Henry Hill and his wife-to-be Karen walk through the back of the Copacabana on the way to their table at the front of the club. Without the ability to edit the shot, it took director Martin Scorsese eight takes to get what he wanted.

Add 32 takes and you know what commercial director Jamie Rafn had to do to capture the long and winding shot that will be the new one-shot standard — at least for whiskey drinkers. Rafn filmed “The Man Who Walked Around the World,” a commercial that tells the story of Johnny Walker and the evolution of a whiskey powerhouse [via Eat Me Daily].
