While I'm sure I'd have a problem being a fly on the wall and hearing the creatives coming up with the visual gags (the real question is 'Would I be still be uncomfortable if the creatives were black?') I think they did it in a technically smart and insightful manner. Hip hop hamsters as the heroes! Can't hate.<br /><br />ps- mo-cap and texture mapping has come a long way thanks to Weta and Gollum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909957245407067880.post-9933537069342242582010-06-01T00:13:01.256-04:002010-06-01T00:13:01.256-04:00Not getting caught up with the stereotyping, it...Not getting caught up with the stereotyping, it's cute and even funny.<br /><br />I agree this ad company did their homework well, and I can see a lot of their intended audience (young guys) liking it.Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909957245407067880.post-88975036782990194472010-05-30T20:26:32.120-04:002010-05-30T20:26:32.120-04:00OK this is tough as I think about your response ab...OK this is tough as I think about your response above about becoming desensitized, I wonder if I'm missing something or am I falling for the okey doke (spelling?). I feel a lot of love in this/for this ad...I think because this is one of the verrrry few that I feel like is capturing/ displaying/borrowing from what I would accept as black culture (not that my acceptance or rejection has any merit in the real world, lol!) What makes this work for me is of course The Black Sheep, but also the "swag" you mentioned. It isn't about poor grammar, being disrespectful of oneself or others, or otherwise displaying foolishness. Yeah, they're hamsters (and I'm not sure about why), but they did capture the confidence, style, and can I say grace (?) that The Black Sheep and artists like them embodied back in the 90's. The huge earphones, the hoodies, the Tims, and moves...*sigh*. You can actually here what they're saying and their real voices...those were the days!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08673302179477006675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909957245407067880.post-9079545882551274732010-05-29T00:30:57.064-04:002010-05-29T00:30:57.064-04:00This is hilarious, love your blog following you ho...This is hilarious, love your blog following you hope you can do the same :)Elizabethhttp://moneyblog.hopto.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909957245407067880.post-63300862523014337242010-05-28T02:54:04.163-04:002010-05-28T02:54:04.163-04:00Pretty good post.

Likewise black agencies are never given those same opportunities to create ads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
