That's what happens when you stay up posting on here until 3 or 4am.

Let me hijack this thread with this. It'll squirdel your brain even more than it was before.

Anyone remember those pics of thousands of bouncing balls in SF on Flickr? I see it's now being shown on TV in the UK - an ad for Sony TVs.
Posted by Sul_DUPE1, around 7th November 2005:
 
I saw it last night. I thought, bloody hell I'd LOVE to see that IRL.
Posted by WarHead, around 7th November 2005:
 
£$&*$ - finally found them on Flickr by doing and advanced search for sanfrancisco balls - see the link, now in my last post.

Holy crap I thought it was CG!
Posted by WarHead, around 7th November 2005:
 
I might have done too, if I hadn't seen that set on Flickr. I bet they had a ball making it.

I'm sorry, I HAD to say it.

anyone got a working link to a video?

the background brings back memories, and it would be easy to do, but that's not quite the same as seeing it.

Well this is the official site

www.bravia-advert.com

My connection is mega-slow at the moment so I dont know if it's working.
Posted by Sul_DUPE1, around 7th November 2005:
 
apparently it's 4 minutes slow
Posted by Saltation_DUPE1, around 7th November 2005:
 
heh

yeah no both sites(...) go to a page that touts itself as linking to a video, but on clicking thru the link, you're left looking at a quicktime placeholder and no video. woop de woo.

Have some patience, Salti, for fucks sake.

It plays eventually but the wait is, admittedly, interminable.

i'm on 2mb line, and there's NO visual feedback. not even in the browser's prompt bar. so i assumed a dud link.

i'll try again.

but i'm not impressed, mind.

Offtopic - but Sul, try and reply to your txt's or send me an email, biatch.

That pic is ace - not seen the advert yet :(
Posted by Saltation_DUPE1, around 7th November 2005:
 
ok, mcSFG's link shows visual feedback...
Posted by Saltation_DUPE1, around 7th November 2005:
 
oo they're superbouncyballs

i did that once

just with one. but it's freaky to see a video of downhill looking uphill of what i'd watched uphill going downhill.

That'll teach you to watch your little indicator thing on your network connection, won't it? That shows traffic, and that was what made me keep waiting.

Clearly I am an internet genius, and you are a simpleton unworthy of an abacus.

Innit.

It'll be on the telly (in the UK) tonight, anyway. I had an e-mail from Sony today indicating that the ad campaign started yesterday, so by the end of the week you'll plobabry be sick of the damn thing.

a) The course of true love never runs smoovly.

b) Long distance relationships rearely work out. Guys, try to find someone suitable in your local area. You know it makes sense.
