Sony Bravia: Paint

Still from Sony Bravia 'Paint' advert, 2006.

The latest ad for Sony's Bravia telly is even better than the last one (the coloured balls bouncing down a street). It's a complete joy to watch - multicoloured paint explosions in and around a disused Glasgow tower block, accompanied by Rossini's The Thieving Magpie.

The Bravia Ads website has loads of fascinating info on how the ad was made, as does the website of Phoenix Fireworks, who provided the fireworks which blasted the paint sky high. There's also a lovely set of photos on Flickr of the ad being shot.
