It's [I][B]probably [/B][/I]real, but if it's not...<br />
<br />
My brother (at Weta) tells me it's the sort of thing he could bang out on his laptop in an evening. The ball leaves the frame quite a bit. Makes it easy to either edit out where it really went and put in a new one. He was quite surprised they used such an "obvious" technique - used on Forrest Gump over a decade and a half ago and exposed in some top-rating "making-of" things - seeing as the whole impact of the thing is it's believability. <br />
<br />
But it's probably real. -
Never underestimate the gullibility of some people though, plenty of people know nothing about those techniques and believe it's real. Someone I showed it to didn't even question it, even Cory Jane's reverse kick.<br />
<br />
As for the way they did it, it looks so real so I don't see what's wrong with the way they did it? <br />
<br />
There has been some great PR from them this year, hope they do more stuff like this. Bit of fun and all that. -
Those AB and NFL ads are great - I think there was one like that with LeBron James back a few years - was viral and can't find it - but he was shooting full court baskets. Edited using the same technique - ball leaving the frame, then re-entering. <br />
<br />
This isn't as awesome - but it still made me smile. TVC for Vailima - Samoan beer of choice. Apparently all of the actors in the commercial work at the brewery. Best use of a John Farnham audio track ever!<br />

I remember when you could still buy it here. Wasn't too bad, does taste better in the islands though. I heard it was banned in NZ because of the varying degrees of alcohol from bottle to bottle. -
Greenies, if you don't do what we say......<br />

Immediately after watching this I started up my outboard and lawnmower and left them idling while I chainsawed down every tree in the neighbourhood.I've become immune to the standard smug sancimonious preachy "we're right and you're a money grubbing captilist pig if you disagree" approach but this is just fucking weird. -

The Brumbies try their hand at the ABs skill video.<br />
<br />
They are taking the piss out of the ABs which hits my moral outrage button frantically, but if you can get past it i have to admit its kinda funny.<br />
<br />
Or, alternatively, they aren't taking the piss out of the ABs, and this is genuinely demonstating their skills. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -

Charlize Theron, Explosions, Ninjas. What could be more awesome? If it made some sense you say? I say Awesomeness is its own sense. <br />
<br />
Shit song though.
