Got a free CD-ROM with the newspaper yesterday, advertising Sony Bravia TVs. You know the one with the cool ad with all the colourful bouncing balls bouncing down hills in San Fransisco.
The CD-ROM said Windows-only, but I looked at it anyway in case it had an MPEG of the advert and I also wanted to know what the dreamy music was.
Funnily enough, the CD-ROM plays just fine in OS X, it has its own Mac part of the disc – so it’s a bit weird the disc says Windows only…
The other odd thing is that I thought that some of the bouncing balls were real but most we’re CGI’d. They’re not. They’re all real. Amazing.
(The music by the way is ‘Heartbeat’ by Jose Gonzales)
It’s a great film. We were talking about it in the pub before the match on Friday night.
Steve mentioned something I hadn’t thought of before. He said the ad makes him want a Sony telly even more because the colours must look so much better on a Bravia than whatever box you’re currently watching it on.
Pub? ‘Before the match’? James, be aware someone else is using your log-in.
Worth tracking down the freebie CD-ROM (in yesterday’s Guardian for one) for the ‘making of’ docco – must have been great fun to make.
I was aware of the ad before it was broadcast thanks to my flickr addiction:
