An absolutely stunning piece of film-making for this Toshiba commercial by Grey London. Honestly, I don’t know how the heck this advert sells Toshiba’s Upscaling technology in particular, but the jaw-dropping technique is just fantastic. You can’t really go wrong with a Crystal Castles track for the music either.
The scale of the production is massive: 200 Toshiba camcorders, 2.5 million individually named frames and 20 terabytes of video.

MTV just launched MTV Music where they have a free database of over 16,000 music videos available free for everyone to watch. They even have an API to perhaps entice geeks to ditch YouTube and MySpace as their source for music videos.
The first thing that went through my mind was “What took them so long?!?”. The second thing that went popped into my head was “They’re calling it MTV Music? How redundant!”.
The third thing I did was to watch Dire Straits‘ Money For Nothing video which was one of the first few things I remember watching on MTV back in the days when they used to show nothing but music videos.
Warning: Video quality is quite crap for the older stuff
It’s a tired old concept but the strangely magical and beautifully crafted sea creatures make me want to watch this ad again and again!
This is just too damn funny — Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie have to be the two most funniest guys on TV for me right now.
So sweet…
Reminds me of Mark Renton’s rant in Trainspotting.
