Here’s a video that will surprise you. You know how Old Spice Guy goes on that elaborate “scent vacation,” intoning his trademark “hello, ladies” and then undergoing a complicated metamorphosis from Polynesian skirt to lying on his side on a red grand piano? It was all done in one take, with physical props and suspension wires.
Don’t believe me? Watch this behind-the-scenes video and you’ll see. Not only could vid-wizards easily cover up the wires that suspended former football player and irresistible Old Spice Guy Isaiah Mustafa, but audio engineers artfully concealed the creaking noises of the stagecraft, liberally sprinkling sound effects and audio trickery for the seamless final effect.
