Thanks for the tip off. What is the bit with the clown all about? It seems out of place.

I thought the advert was pretty disappointing, given the amount of time they took to make the thing. I was expecting something a bit more than a demolition explosion in reverse with the colours chasing up the building.

Don't get the clown at all. What is it? Is it supposed to be him running away after planting the paint charges?

San Francisco gets coloured balls on a sunny day with a decent tune in the background.

We get graffiti and clowns. Normal day in Glasgow then....

Was that the music they use in a Clockwork Orange too?

Don't know if that website tells you, but it will premiere at 20:35 tonight on STV (half-time in the Celtic v Benfica game)

I was very loosely involved in the planning of it.

I've yet to see this on the telly as I missed last night' premiere during the football, I watched it on the web and it does look pretty good.

The mid-air explosions look computer generated tho.

It's growing on me. The best bit is the splodge of the paint raining down at the end.

i thought it was all a bit disappointing :( being a naive teenager, i was expecting massive climate-threatening explosions and a zillion gallons of paint and the end product 2 be half the estate under 10ft of paint but it wasnt 2 be. in fact, it was a bit crap. the music was annoying, half the effects were computer enhanced and i still dont get the clown. but the bit at the end with the paint going up the tower is pretty nifty tho.
defeat is only temporary, giving up makes it permanent.

All it did for me was make the estate actually look not bad, at least structurally...
