It sure is a great ad and it would have been bloody expensive!
I remember reading somewhere that the actual number of extras they used qas quite low...
most of it was digitally created.

Still a very cool ad though!

There's a good article about it on CGTalk right here: http://features.cgsociety.org/cgfilms/cgfi...p?story_id=3043

They shot in Queenstown and used "seemingly every backpacker in town" - over 300, which in itself is a lot of people, but in the scale of this ad is barely a handful. The vast majority of people were created by the guys at Animal Logic with the help of the crowd simulator "Massive" (created for LOTR).

Seems Carlton can't put a foot wrong with their campaigns lately - about time we had some entertaining ads about

Greate ad, rubbish beer. Actually it's a lager and not a beer but discussion over terminology may just be the result of me spending time in Europe recently. Along with VB (which is full of chemicals and produces the worst hangovers) they have great marketing for crap products. Hmm, sounds like a software company in Redmond...

The best beer ad I ever remember seeing was in the UK in the late eighties. There was a long shot of a huge dam with a lone sentry walking on it. Zooming in you get to see he's a German soldier from WWII. Then the 'Dambusters Theme' starts playing and all these Allied planes zoom in and let loose the 'bouncing' bombs. This sole German sees them coming and flings himself all across the dam like a goalkeeper, tipping the bombs over the top so they don't explode. The people in the planes watch this in amazement before one turns to another and says "I bet he drinks Carling Black Label".

The Tooheys ad with the Aussie and Kiwi rugby fans is my current favourite, though.

Great ad. Not a great beer/lager (none of the C.U.B. beers are IMHO).

I was over in Belgium recently and met a gorgeous blonde named Duvel. Very tasty indeed, lovely head, goes down nicely

Not for the weak mind you, she's a potent one at 8.5% so it pays to take your time and saviour the experience... if you can

That's a fantastic ad!

On the subject of beer ads, someone sent me this one a while ago. Windows Media required.

Have a look at this one

Cheers!
