Paul’s commercial for Black Dog Whisky is a trippy kaleidoscope combination of visual effects and live action, with a captivating performance from actress Keira Knightley at the center of everything. Paul's direction as per usually is slick and sophisticated with great camera work that keeps Keira at the forefront of the piece as we go on a journey with her.
Paul had this to say about working with Keira Knightley- “It was an exciting opportunity to work with such a renowned actress like Kiera, the entire shoot was such a breeze because she was so pleasant and extremely professional to work with, which created a fun environment for everyone involved."
In the words of Keira, life can sometimes feel like a never ending pursuit of perfection which is rare to find but when you do make sure to savor it.
