    Carina sent the email below to tell us how the Venice junk was filmed for the video. Some of us surmised that the junk was digital... Thanks, Carina. We hope you'll join the JRA one day :-)

    Dear Lesley, dear Brian, dear Peter,

    I read the thread on your website about the junk Bilbo and the LV-Shot in Venice.

    They did the shot with our Chinese junk "Mau Yee - Münchner Freiheit, as you can see in the pictures. And it was not a digital job but really hard work in Venice. ICONOCLAST (the video company) booked two junks to be sure everything works. We saw a picture of Bilbo running aground. [Ed: that link is to Lesley's image in our gallery, not to the grounding]

    Follow this link to see our junk like it is normally.

    Here you can see some clips showing how the video was made, with a few shots of our junk:

    Only just caught up with this thread, thanks to Peter . Stella from the film company said they'd brought in another junk to take the place of Bilbo. bilbo is now in refit and I've posted pic to photogallery (well that's the plan once I've posted this)

    Seeing as you're a Loui Viton fan I searched YouTube for you. Here's what I hope is the link you meant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpTwgRk2aUU. If so, members might like to know the junk appears for a couple of seconds right at the end.

    I reckon it's a digital job. Would have been a good solution for the production company Iconoclast: it's their style.

    Handbag, anyone?

    Definitely not an L.V. fan.... I'm much more 'man at Oxfam' ;-)  If you've only paid £1 for your trousers it's not a worry when they get covered in epoxy!

    The best digital junks I've seen so far are in the pirates of the caribbean (3?) film when encountering the Chinese pirates. They are quite well done. I've seen a lot of digital junks in Chinese-produced historical epics, but the ships are much less well done and look more like CAD renderings than something actually on the water.

    They can do great shadows these days. Take a look at George Clooney's latest film Gravity for spectacular in-orbit space digital effects.

    I wondered that, too, because the junk looks unnaturally sharp, but there is a distinct and appropriate shadow on the water.  (Roy was kind enough to send me a copy.)

    This Link takes you to a still shot on the LV website.  Didn't someone say the junk ran aground and was not included in the film?  If so it may be that still photos were taken before it went aground, but that it was then not available for filming, hence the two second still in the film

    Sorry, just checked the link, which takes you to the home page with the film ready to play.  Click the play button, then after a few seconds you can click "skip the film" in the top right corner.  Then click "visit the ballroom", then click the third from the right of the linked buttons at the bottom of the display area, which then shows the junk.  Simple, really.

    It's part of the Louis Vuitton winter ad campaign.  I'm sure if you pop into the local newsagent and look in the top end fashion magazines like Cosmopolitan it'll be in there.

    I've searched the web and can only find it on the LV website.... but seem unable to download it!

    I'd love to see the photo: it must be quite extraordinary.

    Webmaster - unless it's a digital production :-)
