A recent Sony advert for it’s Bravia TV sets saw the Toryglen housing estate in Glasgow get covered in paint. Quite a lot of paint to be fair. Brilliant.

Enjoyed this post? Click on the Yahoo Buzz! button below to Buzz it up!The video was directed by Jonathan Glazer (who also directed the awesome Virtual Insanity video for Jamiroquai), and it took 250 people 10 days to film. It also took 60 people 5 days to clean up the mess afterwards.
So it’s real film of real action? In this modern world I’d assumed it was computer-generated.
Looks damn real to me but you can never tell eh?
The behinds the scenes stuff shows it’s real. They used computers to hide the cranes, bystanders and safety equipment but the paint is real yes!
