Dunkin’ Donuts’ Doing Things Commercial

Chances are, if you watch television, you’ve seen the latest Dunkin’ Donuts commercials featuring one of my favorite bands, They Might Be Giants. Here’s the extended version of “Doing Things (is What I Like to Do).”

The advertising agency publishes a blog, naturally, and the entry about this ad even has some of the actors weighing in with their opinions and thoughts about the shoot.

The entire ad was filmed in one continuous shot, which is a technique I always enjoy.
