One of my favorite ads of all time:

No CGI, just 250,000 super bouncy balls going down the streets of San Francisco.
(High def version available.)
After watching the ad, check out the making of the commercial:

They are getting read to start a new campaign. It looks like they are going to blast paint at a bland gray building. I can’t wait.
Of course nothing will probably ever equal Apple’s 1984 ad:

Oddly, Apple’s board hated it, and it nearly didn’t air. Full story on the ad here. Of course that went on to become one of the most influential commercials of all time. I guess they were not as visionary as Steve Jobs who loved the ad… big shock there…
