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!
