Walk, talk, act– all at the same time!

That’s comedian Dwayne Perkins on the national Verizon Wirless commercial– the one where the guy is walking out of the store, with the entire Verizon Wireless network in a giant pack behind him. It is truly a remarkable feat– he delivers his lines while walking (and staring into the camera), through a door, out into the street. (And quite a directorial feat as well, with lots of crucial activity occurring in the periphery and a tracking shot that gives way to a crane shot! How many takes did this one take?!) Job well done, Perkins!
