I do want a bunny now though. A pink one. =) In all seriousness though, that was a commercial? I had to read five posts to figure out the product they were trying to sell me was a tv. Yeah, yeah , yeah create a buzz, viral marketing, whatever. Even the most buzzworthy internet sensations rarely translate into real world profits. Remember Snakes on a Plane?

I use one in my living room, one as a welcome mat outside and one as a counter-top. I bought three bravia tv’s just because i like these commercials so much.

Here it is now on this site and we are discussing it. We are all familiar with the previous two commercials (bouncing balls, painted council estate). Viral marketing - create a buzz - get free press and word-of-mouth exposure. I'll bet it is working for them. The goal of the makers of such a commercial is to get people talking about it.

Shots, like the people's reactions to the clay, were just filler. A lot of the bunnies' movements were just repetitions of previous movements. You start to think that the first shots could have been done on-scene, but the rest could just as easily have been CGI, especially with the big street scenes. And even if it was all done on-scene, stop-motion and all, you've lost interest.

It made me interested in what the t.v. will have to offer. And obviously the slogan is in a positive aspect. A straight-forward commercial and a slogan like: "Sony Bravia- we're better than other tvs" would just be boring. I disagree, Dave. These artistic angles really pique my interest.

Even more so with the Paint & Bouncy Balls ads; none of them made me want to go out & buy a Bravia LCD anyway. What happened to the good old days when you could count on an ad to tell you what was distinctive about a product, or what makes it worth buying? "Colour like no other" could be a positive or a negative thing. Am I the only one who thought this ad a bit strange?

Shame on the director, Frank Budgen, so called the current king of commercials, you make a dirt on the Sony Bravia Commercials if the Plagiarism is true. it’s too sad to know the idea of the video was orginally from Kozyndan, the LAs-based husband-and-wife illustator team Kozue and Dan Kitchens.

The stop motion one is easily the most impressive, but the paint one is the most amusing I think. And the bouncy one scores points because of the use of the song Heartbeats.
