So long as there is a rotating boing ball somewhere on screen! ;-)

well the scene cut happens so fast that all you can see is a big black box only, can't even tell there's a faint boing ball on it :cry: should have been a white case with a nicely painted red boing ball that would have screamed out to all Amiga fans within a milisecond IMHO

in this case yes as i'll guarantee you this commercial wasn't trying to sell anything computer related ;) not to mention the fact that the OP himself involved in the making of the commercial wanted to see an Amiga in the commercial :-)

You can see it clearly at 24/25 secs.

@ Kremlar

'clearly' is a bit far stretched but if you pause the vid and have a close look I agree you can sort of see it IF you are looking for it.  See the link in post 4 of this thread if you want to see what obviously and 'clearly' is AMIGA.

Oh please, why must Amigans always complain??!!!

Be happy somebody went through all this trouble to put an x5000 in a mainstream ad in the first place. I really like the result. They only thing I don't understand, what is the ad for? :) Is it for a TV show on the Spike channel, for a hairdresser like Amiga-news.de claims,...

It's great that an Amiga got used for this... but I've gotta say that unless I'd read this thread and knew what was coming there would be no chance of recognising it as an Amiga! It just looks like a generic black computer.

@ cpaek72

great idea & I know I'm biased;) but I would personally make sure I got a 'Boing Ball' cover case for the commercial as it stands out proudly from a standard 'pc' case ...if you can find a modded Boing Ball case like mine see here http://mancave-ramblings.blogspot.ca/2016/ even better :hammer:  

guaranteed non amigans and especially Amiga enthusiasts will notice the "Boing Ball' case :)


Your set up looks absolutely fantastic

Looks like a Co-sponsored ad for Supercuts "Hair cuts" and maybe a new show on Spike TV.
Supercuts for sure.

In the first episode of the first season of the mid 2000's spy/comedy/romance TV series "Chuck" his home computer is stolen by an enemy agent - all throughout the fight scene where she steals it she keeps swinging it around.  It is an aluminum case (like the Mac Pro of the day) but it clearly has a red-and-white checkered boing ball logo on the front.  I loved seeing that :)
