[CiderMonkey]

the Sony Bravia advery where the colour foauntains explode of the flats... are the fountains real or is it computer wizardry?

Yes it was real and so were all the different coloured balls bouncing down the street in the previous Bravia advert

This is from the official site (www.bravia-advert.com)

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.

However, I have to say that some of the effects appear to be computer generated because there are explosions that seem to come out of thin air?!!

the advert was made using a derelict multi storey block in glasgow and i think it looks brilliant (the paint-not the flat!)

All Bravia adverts are real, not CG! I think that's so cool. The bouncy balls were also real.

my friend lives near to the flats, we drove past them in november but it was dark so i couldn't see them clearly - however, he said you could still see the paint on them, so i guess they didn't clean up completely!
