That took a lot of balls

So there’s this ad for Guinn—never mind. Check out this ad for Sony TVs, filmed last July in San Francisco. It consists of an awful lot of bouncy balls—about a quarter of a million, in fact—bouncing their way down a hilly street. It looks great and is much more soothing than high-speed drives through the streets of Paris. There’s a sixty-second version for high- or low- speed connections, and a three minute version, also for high- or low- speed connections. You need Quicktime 7 for the high-speed versions. [Via Alan.] If you prefer your lunchtime entertainment to take the form of puns on my surname, read a brief interview with me on The National Journal’s Hotline.
