Default T Mobile Ad Hows it done ?

Anyone seen the new T Mobile Ad.
Its a guy lying on the floor speaking on a mobile phone, But he's doing some mad tricks with a football. passing it from foot to foot then to his head then back to his foot then balancing it on the underside of its foot.
Only seen it the once, but its a great ad.


Is it done for real or is it Special Effects ?

i say real. amazing skill with a ball. if you notice the guy on the phone is dressed young but is actually quite old. if it was fake they'd use a young actor that is why i believe it's real.

It looks too slow to be real to me and he doesn't seem to have to "correct" the positioning of his feet at all.

Fake I say...

Real I'd say. I'm no Ronaldo (I could play a bit when I was younger though!) and even I could manage some of the keepie uppie stuff the guy does.. The only bit that looks mega tricky is the part with the soles of his feet.

I say its real aswell. The more you see the advert the more real it looks.
If the world record for juggling a football is something like 2 days non stop ( its something stupid like that ) then what the guy does on that advert seems possible.

Only seen the ad once, but seem to take more notice of the ads now than the actual programs !

So if you are the Advertising company for T Mobile..... Well done !

Fake, the ball doesn`t even spin.

And when he heads it back down to his foot, he catches it with the foot near vertical.

Can we refer to this post again.

The advert is real (watch the links STi posted). There are no special effects from what I can see other than some recolouring of the sky.
