- tolkachi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Not to spoil the fun because he really is making some awesome stuff, but he was paid to do this by Sony [http://www.theonlyt.com/Main/bio.htm]. He works for a company called MAKE [http://www.makevisual.com/] which was contracted to produce this by Sony [http://www.makevisual.com/featuredwork.html].

- rideaurocks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1He left out the part where they ***** up your computer.
Seriously, Sony sucks, but that video rocks. Therefore Digg++ - jayred, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that's awesome. wish I could do 3d stuff like that.
- ehmjay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah, it technically isn't homemade, however still impressive considering his age. although personally im not a big fan of CGI because I miss the days of Practical Special Effects. Oh the Exorcist. Oh Back to the Future...those were the days!
- ivanisavich, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Haha...no worries man :)
Yea I remember no exit....it was the one where the 3 people had to deal with each other in hell (I think that's the one, right?) Your film was great considering how much dialogue there was (normally highschool movies with dialogue choke due to bad acting)
Anyways, as for a mirror.....yep...you can still get the Sony ad from here:

excellent work. - ivanisavich, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hi everyone!
I’m Tyson Ibele….aka the dude that made this little animation.
Thanks Jonathan for giving me the heads up on this site! I had no idea it was posted here and was amazed at the feedback it got!
As for some more info on it….I should state that this was NOT made for sony. It was purely an in-house test we did here since we had some time and we wanted to see if we could pull off a cool transformations video (and I think we achieved our goal). So in that sense we could have picked ANY company’s products…but we picked Sony since theirs are probably the most recognizable.
As for details about how it was made…the “forum post” linked to here is where you can see some of the work-in-progress info/images/animations.
Thanks again everyone for commenting on it! The feedback here has been awesome!! - outerspaceapple, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0stupid rootkits... i loved the commercial though! very innovative.

Who gives a *****? This isnt about Sony, its about this kid who is an amazing animator...
He'll be heading up some extremely big time creative departments in no time..
Incredible... - nlatimer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0They need some good publicity lately, after the rootkit ***** up, and how much the PSP library sucks.
- chriis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"If Sony is smart"
i.e. "If rain falls up." - Neptuned, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1dude , im 22 , am i 0bsolete?
- Morph_Ball, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That guy has got a contract with them by now, right?
Not a big fan of Sony, but I am driven to digg this~ - xodex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0awesome/kickass, even though I think their products are cheap :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I believe the term rhymes with clucking bell. Imagine being able to animate like that man, that's some vision for sure. DDIIGG++
- Spazkake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ever seen the razr commercial?
- skinner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0they may buy it off him lol, or sue him for copyright infringment. probally not but its possible
- webguy2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If Sony is smart, they'd hire him to help with commercials... and pay him a bit for that one... wait until we see this on broadcast channels.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.theonlyt.com.nyud.net:8090/Main/Animations/Sony/sony_style.mov If site slows down.
Cool stuff. - ivanisavich, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Btw ehmjay...I don't recognize you....which film did you make that competed against ours?
- ivanisavich, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh btw....I should mention that although everything besides the text was done by myself, the text effects throughout were done by Danny Robashkin, using Afterfx :)
- perpetualcold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sony already probably 0wns this guy. If he's the kind of person that will go through the effort to make this kind of commercial for Sony (for free), he's probably played a Sony CD or two on his computer. They probably let him put it out first for the free publicity of viral marketing.
- mentor972, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0+Video
-Sony (Sony SUCKSSSSSS!!!!!!) Sony wrecks computers!!! - striker1211, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0And that dude was right, its not "homemade" it was contracted.
- IOIOSOTWIG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great project!
Let's incorporate him, and all buy shares...
Would that make him DIGGitized? - striker1211, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If i was good at video editing i would so parody that, where it says ground breaking i would make a screen where someone renames trojan.exe to $sys$trojan.exe and make "ground breaking" break off into just "breaking"... but very nice video... no digg because it is just a commercial.
- Ricapar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Holy crap. I'm speechless...
- teaguecl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Forget a job in advertising, they need to get this guy working on the new Transformers movie! I loved the transformations in this.
- UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So it isn't exactly homemade since it was done for his company.
- UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.makevisual.com/
This is who he works for now, and this video is listed in their portfolio as a spec piece.
That's slightly different than him doing it in his spare time in his parents basement, but still amazing. - deckardrun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Had to watch this a couple of times. Uhhhh... Holy *****?
- ehmjay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0heh, i sorta know this guy. i've been in some of the same film compititions as him (school ones). he turns out some pretty good stuff. although our film did beat his. lol but his stuff is pretty dang incredible! (mind you ours wasn't animation, which is what he is.)
- Aooogah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That kid will be able to work for whomever he wants: provided he shows them how he did it. Otherwise he could be using someone else's models or textures.
- salome191, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that's freakin amazing...... wow.......
- Mattrix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Crap! Looks like the link is dead now. Any mirrors?
- wasborn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ehmjay
are some of your videos online...if you beat him, yours has got to be really good
"he turns out some pretty good stuff. although our film did beat his." - history1me, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah, I don't see it any more.
Great job by the way... wow! - aerius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i take it from their site that these guys did (at least part of) Minority Report. That is freakin sick.
- ehmjay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0We did No Exit. Actually it wasn't my film, however I had to recut it for my buddy Zach who was at univeristy at the time and the film was far too long. Tyson's work is really great but much different from ours. (No Exit was a dark Film Noire where as Tysons was a really cool 3D Adventure film). Great work Tyson.
As for the videos, I dont have a site and Zach's site doesn't have No Exit up. Sorry guys. - ehmjay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0haha, i just looked back at my old comment and noticed how rude and cocky it sounded. in no way did I mean it to! lol.
- xbmodder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That kid deserves like ~1.2 million dollars -- and a really hot girlfriend.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow!!!! this kid loooves sony!!
- rcausgrove, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ya, its a good. I'd dubble Digg if I could.
- baltakatei, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wah, it left the front page. T_T
