    We’ve never seen ice diamonds carved like this. In fact we’ve never seen an ice diamond before! We used eight hand-carved ice diamonds for this take which Ueno-san began to carve from a metre-long block of solid ice as soon as he arrived. The studio lights may have been melting the ice, but Japan’s finest could take the heat and he kept his cool.

    Great innovation. It’s amazing to see how you have worked in the interaction between films using the special effects.

    Indeed, the bar has been set. This is why the internet was created. Nice work.

    This gets better he more you watch it. Like a good spirit, it gets better with age. I’m so impressed with this that I signed up for the competition in my home country of Australia. Well done Diageo for having the balls to do this. I salute you. JJ
