New "Drench" advert

[HangTime]

I can't help but feel vaguely disappointed having watched that after all the hype
Sure, it's better than most adverts and I adore RIAD (it's the first single I ever bought!) but I've seen better - e.g. that new Nike football one.

Drench water must have some sort of deal with Nottingham Uni, its the only water they sell on campus.....

I love thunderbirds but I don't really like the ad, yes its amusing but no more.

Personally I thought the concept was good but the implementation poor. There was tons of potential to make it better but they seem to have been a bit lazy with it. Rush job I think.

The making of video.

so its cg and real, looks like cg did most of it. Still impressive though.

It's pretty obvious that its almost all CG though, it was done by the Mill who do a lot of big 3D Commercials.

Again that's why I think its a bit lame, as the whole point of a puppet is that its a puppet, not a computer animation. Though a lot of tv viewers will probably think its real.

Anyone else seen this? I think it's absolute class, Rhythm is a dancer - danced to by Brains of Thunderbirds.

Only mistake I can see is when it's a close up of his hands, they're not real, which they would be in the show

Yeah I saw this the other day, I thought it was awesome.
