Bach-ball. This took SO much work, but the effect is beautiful.

That was great. I love the wood phone. Pretty!

I want that phone, does it run Android?

posted by octothorpe 03 April | 18:39

I know, I covet that phone, too. Esp. if it's Android.

So cool! And finally there's a cell phone I want.

I should stop watching it, because now I'm wondering if it's not CGI.

Touch Wood, huh? I'm looking forward to Touch Cloth.

That is pretty awesome. Naturally, it reminded me of this. NSF minecraft averse

MGL, the best thing about that video is the random sheep and chicken noises as the canon plays out. :D (OK, well, that may not be the best thing, but it's my favorite thing.)

Amazing!

I love the randomness introduced into the rhythm when the ball undulates.

And now I'm nay-saying my own post: I think it's CGI. During a lot of the side shots, the ball seems to "glow" a bit brighter than the scene around it. If they hadn't set it up with those shots of a camera crew at the beginning, implying it's a real "event," I wouldn't be so hard on it, but they did and I'm calling them out. It's still a great commercial, but there's trickery involved here.

Also, why the fuck am I still awake.

Yeah, I think it's CGI too. I mean, I think part of it is real and then they used that as a base for the rest. You can kind of tell when it switches over.

I really do not want that to be CGI.

In MY reality, that was not CGI.
