I thought the fropg was the worste part of it because everythign else was just filmed how it naturally would have been (the kid peaking aroudn the wall, the woman looking out her window, the dog was cool, but there aren't frogs liek that in SF), so i thought it was kind of cheesey.
I love the spot when you can see alcatraz blurred in the background and coit tower in the begining.

they must have done it right before school got out. Imagine if you were in 3rd grade and just as you got out of class to walk home you saw 250k bouncie balls :shock:

Id grab them shits up real quick. I wonder what they did to make sure no one walked down that street, the street is so steep and long theyd have to close down a lot of side streets. Can you imagine walking down the street, taking a turn and being met by a wave of 250,000 bouncy balls?

And I wonder if some got going really fast and smashed a window? It looked like a damn steep hill.

Yeah I know, and were those cars owned by the company that did the commercial or the people that lived in the area? Those balls had to get going really fast, Id assume they'd dent the cars.

that hill is pretty damn steep, not the steepest in the city, but that whole russian hill neighborhood is crazy steep. I'm sure they just blocked off every side street, they run close in that direction, so they were probably detoured back up and over where they shot that opening scene.

I thought the same about the windows, but i bet they used less dense bouncy balls and picked a street with minimal windows facing uphill.

I read somewhere on the ad's site that they had police tape off the block, all the cars were props, they had 50 volunteers to clean them up, and nets at the end of the streets/gutters blocked to prevent pollution in the ocean.

yeah, i assumed all that, you can see that they were all piled up next to a storm drain.

If you look on google videos they have vids from just on lookers.
