go to Yahoo.com, and you can see the comercial, but better yet see a Making of short all about how it was filmed , features Steve, talking baout the comerical , and the stuff they did to make it happen,

thought some of you might enjoy it

That was great! I like that commercial a lot better now, I was convinced a great part of it was CGI. Glad it was relatively old school puppetry. I always get suspicious when I see legs in just about every shot.

Steve

Yeah, I figured it had to be a green screen, which ironically couldn't be done because Kermit is green. Back to blue screens!

I went to the thread about the commercial in the "TV Appearences' forum and posted this before looking here.

I should have looked here first.

duh.

I have to get up in 5 hours.

Am I rambling?

Great video! I was also surprised by how much of this was done conventionally.

I love the mountain biking segment. It's amazing how they do things sometimes. Two thumbs up...


It just occurred to me, also, but I don't remember seeing it on the video, with the freewheel design on the rear cassette, pushing it backwards would naturally make the pedals go around in reverse...instant pedaling action when the film was flipped.
