Of course, the man isn't really walking the entire way. Such feats are best left to Forrest Gump. Instead, the crew, which consisted of director, producer, photographer, and actor, traveled via RV for two weeks. Every so often, they'd hop out and capture some footage.
In the video, the camera follows actor Michael Johnson as he passes through different American landmarks like Washington, D.C., Chicago, Mt. Rushmore, and Las Vegas. The camera had to always remain the same distance from Mr. Johnson in order to give the video its seamless feel. You can watch the crew discuss the creative process on this video from ABC.
Though uploaded to the Web just a few days ago, the clip has already generated hundreds of thousands of views. And it's not hard to see why. The video is amazingly polished, the result of hard work and careful planning on the part of the filmmakers. Take a look at some behind the scene footage here.
