The Original Sony Bravia Balls?

Letterman balls


Did Fallon get its award-winning idea for its much admired Sony Bravia ad from someone else?

This bit of video is flying around the web. It looks kind of familiar and it was done by David Letterman in San Francisco 10 years ago.

Antenna Ends on a High

Antenna the bi-monthly showcase of some of the best and most creative music promo's is comming to an end!

The last ever show at London's NFT takes place tonight (Friday November 10 at 8:45pm) and promises to be a send-off to remember.

Since it's a very special show (it's their fourth Antennaversary, the twentieth show AND it's the last one), they have a very special night planned.

This time, there will be no panel on stage, instead they have used all the time available to squeeze in as many great new videos as they can before they say goodbye. But even so, they have a very special guest making his second appearance on the Antenna stage!

The screening will be followed by a proper knees up in the NFT café, where the marvellous Stuart Warren-Hill of Hexstatic will be manning the decks. There will also be an exhibition of all the posters they have ever had made for them over the four years of running the show in London, and the past year of their collaboration with the British Council.

Tickets are now sold out, but if you missed the boat it's always worth queuing for returns at the NFT box office, but you have to get there early.
