did a search for BRAVIA and SONY and couldn't find anything, so this shouldn't be a repost

Well I can see the ad on french TV like 10 times a day, and honestly the balls seem computer generated :hmm: I doubt they would really unleash 250'000 real balls in town

I also thought it looked very computergenerated when i saw it. Maybe we are wrong?

To be honest I don't really care, it is one of the most beautifull and charming TV ads I saw lately and I couldn't be tired of seeing it.

If they were real, I'd like pics of the road down the hill after the shoot :D

Well, I admit in the pics they seem pretty real LOL, but they definitely did some post processing that makes them look very fake, more "magical".

this was real, it was all over the internet in the summer, I never posted it here cause i thought it wasn't that great...

[Overmind]

I can also see this one on our local TV and they do seem to be computer generated, maybe just not all of them... nice ad none the less..

o man, i wish i was there! I woulda taken so many of those balls! In rez we made up this stupidd game called 'Death Ball'... basically what happens is we close all the doors on our floor, and whip superballs around at eachother and they bounce like mofos and its wicked... but we only have a couple dozen... 250,000 :shock: imagine how much fun that would be!!

hmm.. never saw the commercial.. i'm assuming it wasn't used for American TV.. although looks like it was filmed in San Francisco?

must of been amazing to see that many bouncy balls get shot out of a cannon like that! what a great engineering job that must of been to develop that ;)

thanks for the links
