Sony Bravia Multiplies Like Colorful Rabbits

Print this page Print this page
     

I'm sure most color lovers have seen the memorable Sony Bravia Advert where paint cannons were used to brilliantly color an apartment complex. Well, now they're back with a new commercial using a combination of stop motion, radiant colors, and claymation.

Going to the site begins with tag lines about the effects colors in our lives, one of which is the use of red, orange, and yellow to entices appetite and how the use of pink in bubble gum when it was first invented -- which later became the standard -- was only pink because it was the only color the creator of bubble gum had.

Joining up with Hasbro, the company that owns and distributes Play-Doh, this new commercial with the slogan 'Colour Like No Other' for their LCD line hops to life in New York City.

Playing with Play-Doh

Play-Doh was invented by Noah and Joseph McVicker in 1956 and awarded U.S. Patent 3,167,440 in 1965. One of many common products invented by accident, it was meant as a wallpaper cleaner. It was marketed by toy manufacturer Rainbow Crafts, and first sold at the Woodward & Lothrop department store in Washington, D.C. Seen here is its 50th Anniversary Collection, showcasing fifty of the colors available today.

Play-Doh is available in several different colors from day-glo to primary and sizes, and has a distinctive smell and texture. Over 900 million pounds have been sold so far. The product is now owned by American toy giant Hasbro.

I'm loving the bunnies and I feel a Saturday morning spent playing with my daughters Play-Doh coming on (I might even let her have a shot too ;-p)

Wow, I really enjoyed that commercial! And I always wondered who had the ingenuity to stumble upon Play-Doh! Great article, Ruecian!

manekineko, I think that the Hokusai image public domain. But on top of that, the panoramic of colorful rabbits invading New York was clearly robbed to make the commercial. (a really f-ing cool commercial, but that doesn't make it right.)

bah the difference between inspiration and stealing is whether or not you are conscious of your sources, there is no such thing as a totally new creation

I saw the commercial, it is amazing. But I like the others better, the ones with the paint and the bouncing balls.

Sony Bravia adverts are always great and artistic.

Wow. I'm doing Play Doh for a school project, and didn't expect to stumble back to my favorite website while researching homework.
This made my day. :)
Play Doh does have some very interesting colours!

I love the commercial, but in fact it's a very bad one. Because of the low frame rate you think the Sony Bravia has also a very low frame rate. And that's something you don't want when you buy a television... But I still love the commercial ^^
