cool.
i wonder if they cleaned up afterwards
in any case, kids in the neighborhood certainly had a ball in the following few days!

The crush of the individual, bound by gravity -- sometimes there is so much beauty in the world, just between each of us.
Poor frog, though.

The song is Heartbeats by José Gonzàlez on the Veneer album. After the Bravia ad, first launched in the UK, it suddenly crept up the iTMS charts.
I already had it and it's pretty good - very mellow!
The ad is great though - such a fun idea and the perfect city to do it in. The only thing that puzzles me is that since the ad is designed to show the amazing colours of the Bravia, can it only be truly appreciated on one? Or should the rest of us with non-Bravia TVs just turn up the saturation?

which size, and the XBR, or no? I work at Circuit City, and I think the Bravia XBR's are the best LCD tv's we have, bar none. I quite like them over the Sharp brand even.
The 32" XBR. It's a BIT different from the Sony WEGA tube TV I had (of course, CRTs can display 1080, 720, or 480 lines of res with no jaggies), but I'm very impressed with the picture quality and the overall design of the set.Jschultz said:
As for the ad, I believe that in some of the scenes, the balls are CGI. I can't fathom how many takes (and real ball releases) would be required to get all of those different camera angles.

Good choice.
If you don't have high definition already, do it as fast as you can. All of our customers thoroughly enjoy DiscoveryHD and Lost in HD at my store!
I've had HD cable for 5 years now, ever since I bought my Runco in December 2000.Jschultz said:
Just waiting for Blu-Ray and HD-DVD now...(Ouch! I think I cut myself on the bleeding edge!)

Yes I agree, some of those shots do look CGI but it's hard to tell...
Even doing it CGI would be a nightmare.

The residents of that street will be finding bouncy balls for the rest of their lives.
no, i think all of those balls are real. jwz posted that on his livejournal a few months back when they were making the commercial - http://jwz.livejournal.com/518196.html
The making-of video is awesome. They used nets and huge ball-launching machines and just tubs and tubs full of bouncy balls. And rakes and stuff to get all the balls. Plus the kids nearby got some too, lol.

The tires had hidden weights in the rims (in back) which, once unbalanced, caused the tire to roll up when they rolled down.bemylover said:
Classic ad.
And the ad given in the OP was also fantastic!
