Everyone (well geeks on the Net anyway) are fervently discussing about this video.
NOTE : Have you watched the video yet? Please do so, because the rest of this post contains spoilers.
—- SPOILER ALERT —
Did you get it yet? Pretty much everyone is saying that there is no mirror, it is actually a window to another similar room, and the chick has a twin.
Then they (the discussers) go on and say it’s a pretty lame trick, yadah yadah, another Sammy viral ad that FAIL (the zeitgeist word of our time)…
… but to me, the bluddy ad was a success! It got everyone peeking at details in the HD video to make out how was it done, and that was the whole point of the ad (shot with the Samsung I8910). It was not about some lame magic trick, it was not supposed to be impossible to discover how it was done.
The trick of the ad was to get people investigating in HD, and I bet my last pants Samsung’s going to come out and say ‘GOTCHA! It’s because our phones shoot in HD that is why you folks can pinpoint so many evidence to support your theory.’
So… pretty cool from a advertising standpoint, though viral or not, yet to be seen. Good going, Sammy.
