The second version, which airs in both the UK and some Asian markets, sees the 'To Arthur' toast changing through a Chinese whispers effect, resulting in such toasts as 'To llamas' and 'To parsnips'.
"The majority of our work involved the numerous crowd shots, often populating large gaps in the mid-distance, such as doubling the crowd in the ad's opening Irish town setting," explains Barnsley, Lead 2D on the ad. "This was easily achieved by standing the background artists in about four separate zones, which were later combined in 2D. A similar technique was used to populate a wide valley in the Chilian Andes. In the Shanghai sequences, background artists were filmed in numerous positions against chroma screen. We then took a still of the 'Bund' in Shanghai, with the same lighting conditioning units, before giving the shot a hand-held feel and film grain. In other shots, seagulls were added to help join two scenes together."
