I love this song SO much. It almost makes me cry when i hear it because my teacher said this commercial was playing when he herd the news that his friend died of cancer. He says he played it about twelve times after that.

If they had used CGI, the ad wouldn't have had the same feel and beauty. Watch the original and remake version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory back-to-back, and you'll know what I mean. The Sony people spent money - and they made money; loads of people bought the product because of this ad.

There was something on E4 about tv ads, and they said they changed their minds. :)

Again though, money wasn't the issue. It's the fact that people woulda picked that CGI crap out right away. CGI may be cheaper but it won't ever replace the experience and the work put into filming the real thing. And that goes for everything that gets put on film. As i said below, CGI is overrated and over used. I think too much CGI is just a cop out of doing the actual work.

not really. you create a ball shape (doesn't get easier) and project a path - standard parabolic path got G acceleration. And then you just duplicate the shape over and over.
We're not talking half hour work or anything, but cheaper renting out a street in SF, bring out the crews, and cleaning up all the balls and the damage.
CGI is almost always cheaper.
In this case because of such simple. uniform mathematical shapes and paths, you probably would not have known the difference. |
