José Gonzalez playing "Heatbeats" (by The Knife), for all those not in Europe or otherwise aquainted. - feedscott, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1LOL
- FlyingAvatar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Pretty cool. Though in some shots, some of the ball counts do appear "enhanced" with extra CGed balls.
- philovivero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I hope it's not off-topic, but it's interesting how companies seem to use a brand new codec every new video they make. Yet again, MPlayer on Linux segfaults on this bizarro video codec. Was standard QuickTime not good enough? I wish media companies would settle on a standard and just use it.
I guess I should say something on-topic.
It's interesting to talk to geeks that do stunts like this. There are a lot of details to be worked out, and it's great to see some intelligence and perseverence put toward it.
I have a geek friend who's putting on an SF Hallowe'en party tomorrow night, and we must have spent about 30 minutes talking about the engineering challenge of simply hanging a parachute and a few hundred pounds of Christmas lights up in his warehouse loft.
The simplest things turned out hard. The cable structure used to hold it was under too much inward pressure from the stretched parachute pulling on it, and pulled a 1.5" steel bolt out of the wall. Later on a 1/4" S-hook got pulled straight from the strength of the parachute.
I'm sure this film was presented with several such logistical difficulties. And yeh, I'd love to hear about how it got cleaned up. - tibe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1as 'znutz' (lol) said... there is a zipped copy still up at:

- chesterton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Too bad this is Sony promotion.... each one of these balls will install a rootkit on your computer.
- theone3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"They spelled color wrong!!!"
Yeah, Actually, all Americans spell colour wrong. All of them. - wasborn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1^^^ lol
Great Ad...
In one of the first scene, right after all the balls started coming down, there is a kid trying to run away - aaronlidman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1watch the behind the scenes video, it's really interesting. Looks like hella-fun though, a childhood dream.
- atmoosh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sony's got a lot of balls....
- Bostonsox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Ok can everyone who said "FAKE" for the last picture of this a few months ago be banned for being a complete moron and know-it-all.

- lyrial, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I just couldnt help laughing - i'm from enland and we dont spell 'color' like clour or colore, we just spell it with a u in the middle - colour

http://www.demonoid.com/torrents/download/HTTP/218105/JosGonzalezHeartbeats1248136.Demonoid.com.torrent - zediker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That was cool. I always wondered why they did that... and now I know, and knowing is half the battle... G.I. JOE!
- jgpmom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That was an awsome comercial. My little girl made me play it over and over again,,,and ya know what?,,,I didn't mind a bit....but those balls are dangerous you know,,,some of the smaller ones can be swallowed by young children...be careful little ones.
- drakino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Was standard QuickTime not good enough?"
There is no standard QuickTime codec. Quicktime is a wrapper around video data that will tell the player what codec it is, how long it is, and what resolution. H.264 is a codec used in this video, and is supported by QuickTime 7 among other players.
MPEG 4, Sorenson, H.263, and MPEG 2. Those are four other codecs supported in a QuickTime wrapper, and many more can be used. Just as many different kinds of video can be in an AVI container, or a RAM container... - republicoftexas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Is is just me, or was anyone else expecting porn?
LOL! - atmoosh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow! And that music is perfect! Who is it and where can I get it.
Sony and Apple should be working together since they have such a similar approach to style.
Excellent ad, Sony! - BAKER, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now i see masses of ANYTHING can overpower the world.
BOW DOWN TO OUR NEW LEADERS - camtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0SO it never was 10000 balls, but actually 250000 balls.
- pcoff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow. That is awesome. They can spell color (colour) however they want.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Snuffkin: right with ya mate, it's colour in Australia! w00t go proper english!
- Snuffkin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"They spelled color wrong!!!"
When I clicked 'comments' for this digg, I KNEW this comment would be posted.
Anyway, please note that the internet is not entirely american, and *some* people, like me, in England (like English, you know?), which is in Europe, actually spell colour like so. Because the advert might be european, you know? - bastawhiz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wonder if Kevin or Alex were there...
- audiopro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Anyone have the link to the still photos? I think they were a Flickr Gallery, but I cant seem to find them.
Also, the "Making of Movie" has some serious issues with interlacing.
Not the playback device problem. - audiopro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nevermind, photos are on the same page as the extras
- Korivak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Silly Americans, always leaving the 'u' out of words like colour, honour and armour.
- Sirak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This totally rocks :D!!
I'd laugh my ass off if they did some "Outtakes" of the frog getting owned by a fast moving powerball :p
-Sirak - zelig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wonder if I can get my balls to do that?
- mehron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sirak, wan't PETA after your ass? :p
HAHA! - tarkam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0jajaja, Sirak made me laugh!! I second that motion!
- Shire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very cool video, one of the few commercials that I WANT to watch over and over.
The h.264 looks great also. Dugg - Quest-Master, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Pretty awesome. I'd recommend using one of the mirrors linked though as the main page is being slow.
- your_mom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0how come none of the links provided worked???
- Gullop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wonder if it created any damage :/.
Anyway, awesome video, and they spelled colour right! - Penny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Background track Heartbeat...
