One Man and His Dog and His Giant LED Array & some Photoshop. While the giant sheep is being assembled & walks across the hill, the clouds don’t move, the trees don’t sway, etc. Pretty sure it’s a fake.
From BBC Wales
“A group of shepherds talk to Penny Roberts about the challenges of making an ‘extreme shepherding’ internet advertisement for Samsung and YouTube. The viral advert on site YouTube has already had thousands of viewers. The shepherds claim it was “good dogs and good sheep”, not computer trickery.”
Unfortunately I can’t get the video to play, so can’t assess whether the explanation makes sense. But apparently they do explain.
The only virtue of that photoshopped advertisement is that it probably has led lots of people to the sheep surfing goat, which is amazing and entirely un-photoshopped.
your “magic” has the logic of a collectivist nightmare! individuals rendered mere pixels in an artwork created by their platonic overlords! with the help of guard-dogs! hitler was a painter, you know!
oh, sorry; wrong thread. mistook mutton for murray.
I think it’s absolutely bloody marvellous. I have decided in honour of these sheep I will no longer be having them for my sunday dinner and I will be having an ostrich stuffed with a badger, stuffed with a quail, which is in turn stuffed with 2 pheasants.
I’m with LizardBreath. The REAL “Person with Puppy” (as we call it in our enlightened household) would’ve thanked the dogs by name, even the ones who messed up a bit.

Just think what they could have done if they’d had the help of Babe!

Alas, the BBC news spot is wholly unconvincing, and I am sad to say that Jeff convinced me and robbed me of my wonder.

Well, I don’t care if the sheep had help painting the Mona Lisa. It’s the concept.

Nothing quite as “magical” as animal abuse!

Fair’s fair. Even the monkeys needed typewriters.

What were they thinking?? Wake up, sheeple!
Nothing quite as “magical†as animal abuse!
Indeed.

The dogs don’t get a credit? Dogs need better lawyers, man.

What did Napoleon and Snowball have to say about this?
