sony advert

Im referring to the Sony Brevia TV advert with the coloured balls bouncing down the hill in what looks like San Francisco.Does anyone know if this was done for real or was it computer generated?

I would recommend downloading the full length high definition advert if you're on ADSL. Takes a while, but it's worth it.

Iread an article on how it was done, and it was done for real. They closed off the streets early one morning and released thousands of rubber coloured balls. It looked great, but quite a lot of damage was done to windows and cars etc!

the advert was done for real in San Francisco, they did close off the vicinity and released 250,000 rubber bouncing balls onto the roads. my friend was a runner for the comapny who shot the advert,and he fortunately got to see the advert as it was filmed.
