Quick brainwhacking clip before I go smother Ryan with a pillow for snoring.

Remember the ten thousand superballs sent pouring down Kearny Street in San Fransisco like a gleeful tide of bouncing doom?

Here's the commercial they were making.

(For fun, the official site has making-of clips and little explanations about how incredibly wonderful they are for making all this and isn't it imaginative ( Read more... )

So do they ever explain how they cleaned up 250,000 superballs released into the wild?

apparently they had a net at the bottom of the hill,covered all the storm drains, all the cars etc. on the street were props, and a cleanup crew went round getting them out of bushes etc. Thus spake someone who lived on the street, according to the flickr comments.

Really neat stuff. I particularly like this one shot in the middle of the commercial of a swirly ball that's spinning at it bounces down, in the middle of the rain nof colour, it stands out for a moment.

Thank you jhayne: san fransisco seems to be on your mind this post, eh?

Hi

I've been there, to that jell-o city.

Can you guess what went through my mind as I wrote the word jell-o and wondered if I was spelling it right?

As the sun rose, the city flashed into uncomparable beauty, every tensile edge flaring incandescent.. I've no idea.

Hi

Ha, like I would ever think anything like that! No, I though "J-E-L-L-OOOOOOWWWWEEEEE" You know, from the commercial. That happens to me sometimes, and it is at time like those that I realise just how deeply I am infected by everything that I see and hear.

You forget my cultural void that lives where television should be. I've only this week seen my first clips form the daily show, and only this month seen aany Family Guy.

It'snot boy snoring, it's like cat snoring, and generally stops when you nudge him.

Hi

I talk in my sleep, and what I say tends to make sense - it tends to be in reference to my dreams.
