faked? isn't this a form of digital motion capture technology? in that case it's "real"

thanks for posting again -- the first time i could see it on my blackberry. what a delightful video!

ah, beaten to the post! Nay mind, I wonder if we could do some extreme bunny herding in the shape of an easter egg? Now that would be an Oscar winner

It's advert for Samsung - there is nothing technically difficult about it in terms of sheep herding. (I watch this stuff out on my way to work)

It's not faked. . . . .

This is difficult. . . herding a small group over long distance is a real test of the dog.

Not exactly faked, but a lot of computerized editing tricks according to the article you linked.

For example, I would guess that the time scale of the fireworks scene has been changed.

sorry, I don't buy it. Sure you can make patterns with sheep but the precise details they show for the fireworks, with not a single sheep off? IMO you would need a dog for each sheep.. or tie them in strings...

Judicious editing probably included a few blackouts and a few moved and..... there is even something odd looking about the hillside
faked...
