the physical and emotional confines of an inner world…
• …Clad in Levi’s Engineered Jeans, the twosome are spurred to seek an unexpected way out of their oppressive surroundings…
• …During their high octane odyssey they meet, and together discover a brave new world to explore behind the four walls…”

The advert…• …took around six months to make…• …cost £2.5 million (in 2002)• …used a variety of practical special effects
(e.g. dirt canons, flight harnesses) and CGI(computer generated imagery)…
• …ran into problems when the two models complained that they couldn’t actually move in the jeans – which then had to be redesigned especially for the advert…
Freedom to Move…?
