Remember Sony’s original Bravia LCD TV commercial from a few years ago that everyone loved? The one with thousands of multi-coloured balls bouncing down hills in San Francisco like something straight out of a child’s daydream? Well here’s how they made it.

Great viewing, made all the more enjoyable by the song that it made famous — José González’s “Hearbeats” — lolling along in the background.

Enjoy.
