Like no other
Once every so often I see a piece of film that makes me go...
"Wow."
I can't rememeber the last time it happenened. It might have been seeing the spaceship hanger in "The Last Starfighter", but it was probably more recent than that.
A couple of nights ago it happened again. When I watched 250,000 colourful bouncy balls tumbling down a San Francisco street. Joyous.
It's the new advert for Sony's Bravia television range, and it's absolutely glorious. If I had the money I'd buy one just to say "well done" to the makers.
When I saw it I was immediately impressed by the fact it was obviously not CGI. It would be so easy for the creators to do it all with computer graphics, a coloured sphere primitive is mere bagatelle for a Silicon Graphics workstation. But this is all real and therefore 1000% more impressive.
I immediately went and Googled the ad, and was rewarded with this site that features the ad and supporting documentaries. The featurette explaining how it was done is well worth a watch alone.

The fact that they actually _did_ it makes it all that much more special!!
How awesome would it have been to be on the team that actually did that?
