The video may be called “Guy Walks Across America,” but it seems he didn’t literally cover every step, but what the hell: it’s still a great piece of creative cinematography, and nicely shows off what the current generation of Canon dSLRs are capable of.
There’s no doubting that Apple has created some tremendous adverts over the years – even the hideously smug “I’m a Mac” adverts were hugely effective – but this latest batch advertising the FaceTime feature on the iPhone 4 really is scraping the barrel o’cheese.
