That was so random. What did that guy playing footbag have to do with anything the ad was talking about?

Lots of ads don't relate to their products I guess. At least this one was cool.

No, I don't play soccer. Yes, there are competitions. 4 years. Lots of practice.

The physics of the footbagger seemed pretty accurate.

Do you know who did the motion capture?

No idea who did the motion capture - could only be a few people in New Zealand - unless it was taken from Australia.

I work for their competitor... I'm trying to convince marketing that we need to come out with an ad featuring three bag juggling!

Concur - It does seem VERY random. Cool tho :)

I was wondering how you came across it.


How's the scene going in NZ these days?

It's pretty quiet here in Auckland - pretty much just me kicking in my garage a couple times a week.

We had Phil Morrison on national TV a couple of days ago having a shred, with an article about how he was heading to Worlds which was pretty sweet.

Damian Coventry & Stu Macferson pretty much don't kick anymore.

Nice animation. I thought it was just going to be hack until I saw the clipper delay to ducking toe delay. Nice find.

It's airing quite a few times per day here in New Zealand for the past week - I would suggest that it's the most watched footbag footage in the country! :)

That's a interesting ad, unusual perhaps but still cool.

Hey thanks for the link AD.

I heard about that advert but hadn't seen it till now. I wonder who that multicoloured fellow is!

I haven't seen anyone in a while, good to hear you are still kicking Adrian, I don't know what Johnny n Liam are up to but obviously Phil is still playing.

In Dunedin me and Toby started kicking again weekly about 2 months ago. We are teaching a small group of Japanese students to play again which is fun :).

We might have to make an appearance at next years Aussie nationals ey AD?

If all our plans come to fruition, next years Aussie Nationals will be easily the biggest event weve had in Australia, so itd be great if you guys, and anyone, would be part of it!
