Today's happy-making video.

(Yes, it's a dog food ad. That's okay, it's a really neat one.)

The uncanny valley CGI is hurting my brain.

Where?

It felt like the dogs were the only real things. I first noticed it with the cans that wouldn't have been able to roll up the curves.

The cans actually look like they're moving pretty realistically? They roll down, gain speed, then roll not-quite-as-far-back-up?

That doesn't strike me as unreasonable. I'm used to that kind of super-careful barely-touching when people are setting up complex Rube Goldberg machines.

I like Rube Goldberg machines and this looks pretty straightforward to me. The only cheat I could see was the tennis ball that rolled from the wall directly to the dominoes.

And the humans giving the dogs timing queues and commands. But yeah.

And was carefully hidden by dogs for the first seconds until it could plausibly have arrived from the bunch of tennis balls dumped on the floor, if you hadn't been paying attention.

I dunno, I could go through again and nitpick everything that subtly bothered me, but I'd rather not take away from everyone else.

I also apologize for threadshitting initially.

Sadly, I'm reading this on my phone and I can't display the video.
