heartbeats and bouncy-balls

so my last post was a bit vicious, and i like to think that i don't use this blog simply as a means to communicate my dissatisfaction with the world. that being said, i'd like to share something that actually makes me happy just by thinking about it.

sony has a new TV, the Bravia, and its motto is "colour like.no.other." to demonstrate their new product's incredible colour, they shot 250,000 bouncy-balls down the steep slopes of san francisco. this commercial seriously makes me feel warm inside, and it's not just because i have a thing for bouncy-balls (i have a collection that i started as a kid [yes matt, as a fat kid]).

watch the extended version here. and when you get hooked by the song, download it: "heartbeats" by jose gonzalez (note: the song is originally by the swedish brother-sister duo The Knife). check out the featurettes too, because the fact that they actually shot cannons full of bouncy-balls around a major city, instead of doing it digitally is pretty awesome.
