Cool commercial - 250,000 bouncy balls.

**Shemmy** · 10-31-2005, 03:43 PM

I've always wondered what it would be like to send 250,000 bouncy balls down a street in San Francisco.

http://www.jose-gonzalez.com/ there is his site if anyone is interested. Rainman - you might dig some of these. Very - "vanilla sky" soundtrack tunes.

**Shemmy** · 10-31-2005, 04:57 PM

I like that song as well. I'll have to check out some of his stuff.

**webby** · 10-31-2005, 05:08 PM

I just ordered the cd. I really like his other stuff- pretty impressive. Mellow.

**Silver8th** · 10-31-2005, 06:19 PM

I would have to admit, that is pretty damn creative. Good music too, I might add.
I wonder how many cars and houses had broken windows and dents.

**2fast4u2** · 10-31-2005, 08:49 PM

That's pretty cool! I'd like to have been there when they filmed it.

**CameronJr9** · 06-22-2006, 12:10 PM

Bump!

I was listening to NPR the other day and this song was playing. I was singing along and couldn't remember why I new it. Great stuff.

You think they really dropped the balls or do you think it was computer generated?

watch the behind the scenes

I was trying to figure out if it was CGI or not, too...until I watched the behind the scenes footage. That was pretty amazing. Right in my home town, too! Too bad I missed that shooting on that day...that would have been fun to watch.

***Celcius*** · 06-22-2006, 06:57 PM

Could you imagine if your car was out there when they filmed it?

8thgenuser · 06-22-2006, 08:52 PM

I was wondering about that, too, but if you take a look in the behind-the-scenes page, they say that all the cars were props. I'm sure the residents around the area were pretty upset that they took all those parking spots away that day since parking is really really hard to find on those streets.

Bump for a cool commercial. You'll have to download Quicktime 7 to see the high quality version. Also watch behind the scenes footage.

Our latest TV ad - featuring massive paint explosions - took 10 days and 250 people to film. Huge quantities of paint were needed to accomplish this, which had to be delivered in 1 tonne trucks and mixed on-site by 20 people.

The effect was stunning, but afterwards a major clean-up operation was required to clear away all that paint!

The cleaning took 5 days and 60 people. Thankfully, the use of a special water-based paint made it easy to scrape-up once the water had evaporated.

Keeping everyone safe was also an important factor. A special kind of non-toxic paint was used that is safe enough to drink (it contains the same thickeners that are sometimes used in soups). It was also completely harmless to the skin.

**Silver8th** · 10-30-2006, 01:16 AM

Awesome! I love their ads. Good find Cam!

One word... beautiful

**CameronJr9** · 09-12-2007, 10:55 AM

Bump. Great music, good commercials. Hopefully the links still work.

Just in case, here you go.
