Levis commercial - was that cgi??? (1 Viewer)

Has anybody seen that cool Levi's commercial with the skinny guy's legs going all crazy?

Not cgi at all! It was real, honest to goodness dancing by a guy named Johnny Cervin. The commercial first aired during this year's superbowl and the commercial was even available for download on the superbowl's website.
Here is an article about it:

Well, actually the shots are computer trickery in some respect (and obviously so based on the position of his upper body and his lower body). The article linked above mentioned it:



His legs might be able to move in funky motions- but not which standing erect and walking the way it is displayed in the commercial.

it's explained in this month's spin magazine as well
