Old Spice Commercial

The famous old spice commercial. This video includes many special effects and edits that I don't really understand. The video starts with what is probably a simple screen background with a shower on the set. Next we see the legs move towards either side of the screen. This must mean that for the first clip because his legs are only shown at the end they must just be blocked out. Then the screen changes and you see his legs moving along with his entire body. A lot of the movement in the video seem to be real staged actions. Like the rolling log in the water and the breaking tub at the end. You can see the log continuously spinning after he walks off of it and the creases from the breaking tub are visible after the water flows of the sides. I don't think that this old spice commercial or any of the others in this series have very complicated special effects. They probably just require a lot of materials and filming space to complete the actions of walking and movement throughout the videos. Very entertaining videos that are enjoyable to watch because of their humor and abrupt changes and effects.
