linky

C'mon settle a pub argument, how do you think they do it,

CGI
actuators and strings
intensive training from birth

HOW!!!!

Personally I think it has to be actuators

CGI.
reckon they asked the kids to try and do it as best they can to the tune (giving the right kind of facial expressions, then improve it with CGI.

she scares me... like properly scares me


tegwin - 23/2/09 at 11:17 PM

The kids did the basic work...

And then CGI was proberably used to "amplify" their facial expressions.... That would be the safest way of doing it..


Personally I would have used an electric prod.... but then im cruel!

I have watched it really close a few times and I think it is too good for CGI. But then thats what they want us to think

Anyone else find that ad just plain weird and a bit freaky?

YES! thats why she scares me

love the tune though though i think 'drop that boom' by freestylers was a better remix of it

Tee-hee..... I think its great!
One of my sons and I can both 'do the eyebrows'

I think the kids do a series of 'eyebrows', then it is speeded up/slowed down/repeated during editing to the tune.....

IMHO.... of course!

definitely cgi! watch just before her eyebrows go mental ( ) you'll see his hair moves, just like the dodge tool does with photoshop

But the fact that you remember it has succeeded in it's objective...

Since Cadbury's had that really big scare with salmonella infections in chocolate bars a few years ago they lost massive sales and public confidence.

Displacing negative feelings with good one's always works - you cant feel negative about something when you're laughing! Hence the massive amounts they are spending on their adverts of late... it's a marvellous marketing campaign and their sales are increasing accordingly....

It cracks me up when it comes on... but yes, it is freaky!

Exactly - If an advert is to work then People have to talk about it - Even if it is "I don't get the gorrilla playing drums.."

The advertising company went out on a lim and floated some wired idea's that some equally wierd CEO/Director liked. But hell it's one hell of a campaign.

I guess we have to ask - What next??

More seriously it was designed to go 'viral' and has worked well at that, it's gone around the web and youtube is stuffed full people arsing around with it and the idea. Every time we pass it on via email or on a forum it infects some more and goes around again.


Mr Whippy - 24/2/09 at 07:48 AM

missy is in stitches whenever that ad comes on, is quite freaky


trogdor - 24/2/09 at 09:53 AM

the bit with the balloon is my favourite............


cd.thomson - 24/2/09 at 11:00 AM

apparently it was done with computer aided stop gap animation, thats why every individual expression looks fairly natural its just the combination of them in such a short space of time thats impossible!

yep thats what i would have said they did, cos the expressions were way too natural to really be photoshopped the spped of the change is what shows the computer aided bit isnt it
