Where Colour Matters

Last night while Mayu and I were sitting in our hospital room at Saiseikai hospital after our day's battery of tests for the "ningen dock" or "human docking" were complete, there was a program on TV that Mayu was watching which showed some amazing commercials that did not use any CG SFX (Computer Graffic Special Effects). One of them was the Sony Bravia commercial entitled "Colour".

Imagine 250,000 coloured superballs being shot out of three cannons and let to bounce their way to life down the streets of San Francisco....

In the high tech world, colour really DOES matter!

I hope you enjoy this brief video. We certainly did.

 

I love you!

  1. Did you see the one shot in Glasgow where they explode paint all over buildings due for demolition? That one gives me goosebumps. Set to Rossini's The Thieving Magpie overture.

  4. Y'know, if you're a dirty minded individual, "Human Docking" sounds like a procedure that needs more looking into.

  24. I loved it !! I would love to be around when they would do another one , fat chance of them coming to MIscou Island to do one though lol

    Ok my Mom side has me wondering who cleans them all up ?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Yes, Jen knows very strongly what her needs, and her wants are and she is absolutely in no way influenced by marketing, or advertising. Not at all. Nope. Not in the slightest. *wink*

  26. Sharon - Probably the people who used to work for the Big Three Automotive Industry!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I AM SO EASILY INFLUENCED!!!

    I'm amazed I didn't end up a junkie or an alcoholic....


    gah.


    Push over me. Show me a puppy... and I'll buy that brand of .. whatever..



    yep.




    Sharon. I too thought.. gah.. they'd be cleaning up balls for weeks, and most likely finding them unexpectedly for years. In gutters... in flowerpots.. etc...

    ReplyDelete
  28. ... kind of like a kaliedoscopic (not endoscopic) eternal easter egg hunt!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Advertising involves... oh nevermind...

    i just don't like people trying to sell me stuff so i resist.
    That and being broke helps. I don't buy what's advertised. I by what's on sale.

    Sony... can't think of anything i'd need or want from SONY... sorry guys. Nice commercial though... pretty... fun.

  30. What did I miss, why were you both in the hpspital for test!?!!? what happend now!?!?!?!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Kristen - Nothing bad at all. We had the opportunity to have our community subsidize a general overal medical checkup, so we took advantage of it.

    ReplyDelete
  32. It was Mayu's first mammogram as well. She said, "it didn't hurt nearly as much as everyone says it does..." So, I don't know what that means.... "gentler technology? more pain resistant breasts? higher pain threshhold? enjoys pain? passed out and can't remember the actual event? suppressed the real pain?" Only she will ever know...

    ReplyDelete
  33. It's really not bad at all... just pressure.

    I can attes to that as going from smaller mammos going up to larger mammos...

    Still not that much pain.

    Discomfort would be a better word.

    Brava Mayu!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I had a mammos... this summer... Yes and it was not comfortable.. The Tec said it
    would be easier if I was fatter.. MMMMM

    ReplyDelete
  35. " tests for the "ningen dock" or "human docking" were complete" What was that all about????

    ReplyDelete
  36. The Mammo turned out ok if anyone is interested.!!! They didn't know what the lump was but they said it wasn't anything to worry about!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Um... if they didn't know what it was (is?), then how do they know it's nothing to worry about???

    I don't like when doctors say crap like that.

    It's like, if THEY don't see a problem, there IS no problem... huh?

    If the lump is gone now it must have been a swollen lymph node, which is not a problem.

    Be well, SweetJim!

    P.S. the "docking" stuff is their term for the battery of tests he and Mayu went through at the hospital in a thorough, overnight stay.

    Sounded like a space probe to me.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I hate those space probes..!!!!!! They are more uncomfortable than the Mammo... The lump
    has just about dissapeared now. Thats take 3 or 4 months.!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. The lump on my noggin is permanent, I think. Permanent calcification due to protecting my grey matter from all the time I bash my head against things that are (for me) too low in this country.
