Bully Pictures’ director Fredrik Callinggard captured dramatic images of foundry workers pouring hot, molten metal into giant castings for a spot promoting Smirnoff and its People’s Choice event occurring this month in Las Vegas. Conceived by JWT, New York, the spot shows workers melting trophies awarded to Smirnoff by vodka “experts,” and recasting them into the words for “The People’s Challenge.” The Las Vegas event will pit Smirnoff in a taste test against the world’s most expensive vodkas.
