Guy walks across America

Category: North America, Regions, Travel Miscellany, USA, Videos — Paul Johnson @ 3:26 pm

This is actually a viral video from Levi’s rather than another story of some guy walking right across the USA. That said, it makes entertaining and uses frame-by-frame video footage of an actor and model by the name of the Michael Johnson as he passes various landmarks. Apparently it uses some 2,770 still photos that were taken on a 14-day trip across the country.

    1. Wow, that’s a really odd video to watch. Really clever idea though!

    2. Cool advert, but are jeans the most suitable clothing to wear while walking across the USA? If someone did wear jeans and died of exposure after getting drenched in the Rockies, would the “No win, no fee” lawyers be tempted claim damages from Levis?

    3. That was actually pretty cool. Would have been a nice project to be involved in.
