This is the Golf GTi advert, yes? It's an odd one for me. It's very good, but it annoys the hell out of me....

The sight of Frank Sinatra Body-Popping is... strange

Reminds me a bit of the Weezer 'Buddy Holly' track that shipped with Win98

Edit : I think it's the way it's animated that looks 'odd'. This sort of thing is bloody difficult to do, so I'm not knocking the skill involved, but it's like the Han Solo 'dodge' scene in the re-release of Star-wars, sometimes his shoulder to impossible things

It still reminds me of A Clockwork Orange - but that's no bad thing. Good find

I think the only CGI bit is shoving the face on; the dancing was real.  So it's not impossible

Yep. The dancing is real. Take a look at the vid from the Kollaboration site to see the guy in action when there is no CGI being used.

(It's the one labled "David Elsewhere at Kollaboration II!").

BTW It's Gene Kelly not Frank Sinatra

I'm not fond of the idea of using famous dead guys in adverts. Anyone remember that Ford Puma add with Steve McQueen ?

[Flipside]

Yeah, I was half awake, hence my calling Gene Kelly Frank Sinatra, as I was reminded by PM

Hmmm... Well, it is a dancer capable of 'rubber' bodying himself
