Not sure if this has already been posted but it's such a cool advert I thought I'd stick it on here...

We were undecided whether he's real or an animation, he looks like elastic the way he moves. Cool advert though.

They reconstructed the set in meticulous detail, and hired 3 breakdancers as body doubles to do all the moves. Then they added his face digitally and voila!

Yeah, the guy in the orange jumper in the first clip is the same guy in the second clip and he's the first body double on the Golf ad - David 'Elsewhere' Bernal.

Interesting piece about the making of the advert.
