Levi'-s- Opioneers! (Go Forth)

Walt Whitman's Poetry 26 four line stanzas used in a series of Levi's commercials directed by Cary Fukunaga and M. Blash in late 2009: http://youtu.be/HG8tqEUTlvs. I have been obsessed with this ad, not for its marketing ploy aspect but the beauty of its cinema, fashion and style.

Against the backdrop of such a powerful voice, using Whitman's words as direction for plot, placed in some of the most beautiful places in the world, in less than a minute such naturalistic, free beauty is depicted. This to me is video art.
