Extreme sheep stuff . In other news, I really, really, really want a Samsung LED TV. Seriously.
Hmmm, also not a huge fan. I quite like some of the fake-homemade virals, like the Ray-Ban throwing glasses onto the face thing. Even though it wasn't, that clever low-tech effect could be done by a couple of guys fooling around on a weekend.
But the sheep thing just looks to me like a fairly expensive digital effects budget with a faux-amateur vibe, which seems like cheating somehow.
It's exactly the "cgi done on an atari" look that bugs me. Had they actually done it with real sheep, I would have been all for the ad. (Had they had GOOD cgi as well, I would probably have liked it more).
