The music and choreography and use of the dancers all the way to include the $ sign at the end is enchanting. And isn’t that what a great fruit smoothy is suppose to be, enchanting? This is one of several commercials this year that raise the bar in creativity and experiencing the joy of the product. Oh look. The commercial is after all Simple Joy.
wow…I don’t really pay attention to commercials, but I’m really impressed with it on a technical standpoint. I mean look at the way it was filmed and edited together. It’s very impressive.
I wonder how it was made. My guess is that the camera was on the studio ceiling and followed action of the extras taking shapes. Very difficult shoot, I would imagine, but fun. I’m glad they used actors and not CGI to achieve this.
does anyone know what that song is?
best commercial evar!
