Yup, my favorite time of year is upon us - grass court season.
That's right - Wimbledon baby!
The balls are fluffed, the grass is cut, and players are all in white - you really couldn't ask for anything else, except maybe Roddick to win the championship (yes, I know it's a pipe dream, but I can wish).
I do have to say, because of a simple commercial, Sony has made me more excited for this WImbledon than any other I can remember. It's a direct copy of one of my favorite commercials of all time, but totally rooted in tennis.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do (and yes - I'm aware the CGI could have been better):
And for those of you who know me, I've certainly showed you the commercial this is paying tribute to, and I know I've posted it on this blog before, but here it is - I wonder if you can figure out the similarity...
Unlike the tennis balls, the bouncy balls in the second commercial are real. They actually released of 25,000 bouncy balls down the streets of San Fran...totally rad.
Oh, the bouncy ball video is one of my all time FAVORITES - it makes me very happy to watch it. My favorite frame is the one with the frog!
ReplyDeleteThe tennis ball one is cool - very serene . . . kind of like Wimbledon!!! This video was more subdued - hmmmm, sort of like the Brits?
Drew - what is the song in the bouncy ball video? I want to download it.
Thanks for bringing color and happiness to my day :)
ieyu, ilys!
Oh and as far as I am concerned, all the tennis balls are REAL!!!
