[cscdigitalgraphics]

Brilliant in so many ways!

[brandon889]

[somerandomgirlgeek]

Brings back awesome sunset memories of when I was in 3rd grade ;)

[somerandomgirlgeek]

[kupabandit]

[michaelmoorhead86]

Sprint is #1

[drewloker]

Does anybody know what happened to the "Making of" this commercial. It used to be online, but it seems to be GONE!

[brandon889]

Makes Me Fell Happy

[hardcorelifeforus000]

So trippy

[cul346]

Fuck you sprint

[PutUpOrShutUp221]

stop motion + bulb exposure = digital orgasm

[wishuwereme1000]

i flipped tv all the time hoping to find this commercial when it was on i love it so much lol

[ChIcAnO2111]

sprint sucks lol no signal

[JaredMorales1992]

Do I need a special flashlight to do that?

[iLikEitRough691]

Does anyone know the song playing during this??

[trunks817]

With the HTC EVO 4G and Sprint, My dreams have come true. Thank you Sprint :)

[lacus1992]

Awesome! Must have taken him forever to get the animation right!

[Chocolatecriisp97]

i love thissss

how you did this?

which program?

[thewrongvine]

@Chocolatecriisp97 light

[Derkks]

@Chocolatecriisp97 It's called light painting, doesn't require a program. You just need a camera, a light and a dark environment.

[SiblingSquabbles]

i think of the song sleepy head by pation pit when ever i see this commercial .-.

[iLikEitRough691]

@SiblingSquabbles is that the name of the song playing?

[SiblingSquabbles]

@iLikEitRough691

naw i have no idea what this song is called. sorry

[theyearsburn1]

@iLikEitRough691 the name of the song is souvenirs by architecture in helsinki.

[checkerb0y121898]

if you thing this is cool,watch freddiew's light warfare

[PleaseDontKillMe00]

AIH :) amazing.

[bbros1925]

this is a great commercial! in my opinion the only commercial that beats this is the asian guy in the state farm commercial rocking out to kansas.

[dgoc81]

good work Jamie!

[JustAFocus]

Arrgh, why do some people have to be so awesome? XD I'm just barely learning how to do long exposures and trying out my first mediocre attempts at light painting in "bulb" mode with my camera -- and then I stumble on this video which completely blows me away. My God, that must've taken FOREVER to set up. Just stunning work.

[tuuu15]

its called painting with light each of those glitch movements are pictures :]

i'm in photography and im doing this project haha

there could be some effects in there as well

[brandon889]

I have Sprint I love this Commercial

[oton512]

What is the name of the song!

[katakotia]

Architecture in Helsinki! The song is called Souvenirs.

[seventy7whitesheep]

its all photography:]its all about the shutter speed. use canon dslr

[ClintByrne]

How was this done? All still photography?

[jeniicheung]

its amazing!!!

[hildergarn]

Jesus Christ, it's mesmerizing watching this.

[WhisperGarden]

@hildergarn It IS, this commerical uses a bucketload of hypnotic techniques; not just the lights, but the voiceover too. Advertisers really are out to get inside your head.

[Agoostaholic]

my frient can do this =)

[Lopo27]

what's the song of this video?

[xeoroq]

@Lopo27 Souvenirs by Architecture in Helsinki

[yopidostres]

es muy buenoo..

[MrCrayonInk95]

sprint sucks everything they do verizon one ups them and then at&t makes it with better quality and t mobile shows off the g1 and the sidekick. especially when it all started,lets date back. t mobile makes the sidekick that everyone wants. verizon makes the enV. Sprint fails with the rumor, and the rant, and the rumor 2. then att makes the pantech matrix which was pretty cool. any rate SPRINT SUCKS

[jorgebarbajr]

I hate Sprint.

[WorldWar2freak94]

Why?

[byrdmossedem33]

thats not stop motion

[3ntertainer]

yes it is

[ZippermouthDune]

indeed it is a form of stop motion

[89spikeangel89]

Wow! This is amazing! I'm wondering how many photos were needed for do this. Because this is stop motion isn't it?

[Leftwinga91]

Light painting, it's a photography technique. I wonder how many pictures were needed to do this, as it could range from 10 seconds to 30seconds+ per shot, and they decided to make an animation out of it. Damn this is good though

[girlypuppy123]

this is amazingg

[InnTheEye]

what place is that?

[fbithejames]

MacArthur Park in North Los Angeles

[stuartfsinclair]

never even heard of sprint but really nice ad

[AnotherAppleMacbook]

Phone company.

[Eagle021001]

That ad was pretty awesome

[miumiuson]

isn't it sooooo cool?

[tsliao]

Sprint gets a bad rap and the people who say don't go with Sprint are money wasting haters. All cell phone providers will have it's share of Haters like luvautions - so it's not even worth arguing with them. I have done research on all four major providers and if you want the best digital service, fastest broadband, good coverage, and most importantly the cheapest price / greatest value - why wouldn't you choose Sprint.

[luvautions]

sprint sucks do not get sprint you will be sorry

[thedarknesstelie]

ya i already am cause were like paying 1,000 dollars and my mom is going to swicth us to ether t-moble att or boost moble wich i dont want to cause boost moble sucks

[wunksta]

i love this i just wish they had a copy without the commercial voice

[hardcorelifeforus000]

there is it's called souvenirs by Architecture in Helsinki

[WowUrTheMan]

Song?

[potatoepapa]

"Souvenirs" by Architecture in Helsinki

[robrejjie]

Nice imagery, but how is speed relevant to wireless? You make your calls faster? Yes, data upload/download times are better but AT&T/Verizon have all but caught up and its never communicated in the first place so Not so much.

[DaBoel]

That's too much O.O

AWESOME :O

[andiwaslikeeewhoaa]

I agree with puppyderick :)

[rgglobal]

congratulations. great video commercial.

[jpkm7992]

I would VERY MUCH advise NOT signing a contract with Sprint, I had there service for years,I went out of town and called the day before to switch over to a nationwide plan,something I had done in the past with no problem.Even thou they have record of my calling,somehow it did'nt get put into effect,my bill that should have ben $75.00 came in,$655.00!!! Insane,Now Sprint has ruined my credit because of their mistake.Don't useSprint!! Bad Company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!B­ad! JohnMcDade, Tampa Florida

[okrayantothemax]

jpkm7992...if indeed you called and Sprint has records of it (in the notes), it would've been adjusted. Sprint takes full responsibility of validated billing errors. I work for Sprint that's why I know. I understand you for feeling that way but you should also take full responsibility of your usage. If you have spending limit in your account, Sprint wil automatically shut your service off to protect you from overspending. You'll be prompted to call care.

[conozco345]

QQ more

[jaineyaaang]

i love architecture in helsinki !

the song they used for this commercial is so bomb.

[MissWhatever99]

I need help. I'm trying to find the sprint vieo that has to do with the cool flashlight thing like this, but it's a winter version I think.

[puppyderick]

Sprint doesn't suck. It's a very wonderful service. You just need to know how to manage your own acct usage.

[fredo69]

this commercial is awesome...too bad sprint sucks.

[SoCalgrl24]

this was shot during the whole night,right? it looks like they started in the evening and worked on it the whole night, till morning

[Fankepro]

this is my fav. commercial...aside from the mastercard ones.lol

[DenmarksDjZippo]

Quiet cool i think...

[ROCK4745]

i like the pertty lights

[gloomgirl5]

kooliez ^^) that looks realy awsome

[Tastemygin]

I love this commercial :) ...

[TimidFury]

Watching this video again, after many months past, and in some unexplainable way, makes me forget the days problems, and brings me to an inner peace. If only for a minute.

Wierd...

[SpookyAdrian]

I really have to agree with you on that too. For that one minute I think nothing negative of the world outside, but the good of my past and thought as a child.

Its peaceful... and very happy. Love this ad!!

[plutonium93437]

I think it's cool that you've come out of the closet. I hope you and SpookyAdrian live a good life together.

[SylarDX85]

@plutonium93437 Hope you have a good life too....?

[WhisperGarden]

@TimidFury That's because Sprint is hypnotizing you with this commercial. I'm serious. They want you to feel this way so you can associate it with their product. Pretty dark...

[BlakOktobure]

@WhisperGarden Regardless, the animation is superb.

[megsmad]

yup. sprint has got to have some of the most awesome ads i have seen.

[pwnzerleet]

Wtf is that? Stupid ad

[creating3d]

Where's the behind the scenes video? I've been looking all over for it but I can't find it.

[Hypnot1cGaz3]

Cómo amé el mensaje del comercial y no tengo más que decir sobre el maravilloso efecto de las luces. Hermoso.

[ihyilyidkidc]

yay architecture in helsinki! haha :)

[ChannelMii]

i love this commercial

[mecasly2]

When is someone going to upload the Christmas commercial of this?

[kicwfilms]

what's the song?

[iamavirus]

the song is "Souvenirs" by Architecture in Helsinki from the album Fingers Crossed.

[Doraxan]

lol that's youtube's favorite question.

[nicoco23]

I love the story telling. kudos...

[chloeXvenom]

i love this commercial

[Afekz]

Just slow down the shutter, and adjust aperture accordingly.

No science to it.

[furiouslifeofharis]

one word...Amazing.

[0johnatividad0]

who's the artist?

[zinestrokes]

architecture in helsinki =]

[0johnatividad0]

does anyone know what song that is?

[jane86says]

souvenirs

[sucsmade]

wow thats really cool, is there really no tutorial videos of that?

[allthemniggas]

This is actually kinda easy to do that light "effect"

All you have to do is have a professional camera and a mag light.

This is what you do,you put the camera on a exposure of 8.

Then you move the light around really fast and take the picture and there you go.

[sullian]

And... what do you do with the iso, shuttertime? Clearly you don't have the clue of what you're talking about. Go out and try it. You'll make some money if you get it right.

[drpepper1106]

i have sprint and they have good service i almost never drop calls and internet is fast

[grodenbarg]

deception at it's finest, wait till your bills. :X

[flowerockz]

where is that commercial that has lightwriting and they are skating?

[mecasly]

I know, I want to see that one too, but I can't find it.

[flowerockz]

i know right?

[halfnhalf105]

I love the music =)

[caithead]

Architecture in Helsinki are amazing <3

[otepeeniss]

they are :]

[EmpressEricka]

also did the video for kaki king.

[lymphomane]

yep this is light painting. with your camera you put the "long pose" mode (10/15sec)then you draw what you want with a light while the picture is taking, then you got this if you accumulate pictures! not so hard to do.

[simvid123]

hahaha, sooo wrong..this light writing effect can be done in Adobe After Effects.

[rhettap]

anyone have any idea how to do this with the lights?

[TheTroydanShow]

Lol I work for sprint and I suggest running as fast as you can before it folds.

T-Mobile might be buying out Sprint, Sprint has lost over 24 billion in the last quarter. I know that all the customers blame the reps but if they could see how bad it is on the other side of the phone line they'd understand why they are being fucked around. Place is a joke

[yfw83]

Childhood =]

[correctmugshot]

When I was 17, three years ago, I signed up for sprint and paid a $150 security deposit. I still havent gotten it back and I alway's paid my bill. I think sprint is mean!

Oh yeah, it was a wireless internet card and I always got charged for ringtones, games, and text messages somehow!!! And DARN their outsourced call centers!!!

[mingusfan]

Very neat commercial, but having a "magic" screen in my pocket that could do all that wasn't at all a dream of my childhood.

[itskellyanddeb]

WOW trippy,,loveit

[ejwlover]

Love It!

[fallenunder]

This just brings you back to your child hood.

Very great commercial.

[stinkybear]

light graffiti

beautiful

[eyehearthuckabees]

Just in case you guys want to know the artist, this is Architecture in Helsinki's song, "Souvenirs."

[gcmel001]

Love this commercial...

It's cool :]

[NissanShift]

But omg AT&T FINALLY GOT A COOL PDA PHONE. IT ABOUT FUCKIN TIME. LOL

[monkey93wipe]

at&t had the blackberries released exculsively for it, and then then sprint came along dragging its ass and making copies of at&t blkacberries with a sprint logo. lame

[sgtpetsounds]

You are both know nothing morons, shut up.

[NissanShift]

Yeah i know nothing at all your right. Iv only worked for Advanced sprint tech support for 5 years. I mean jesus i know nothing.

[NissanShift]

Well worst customer service is one thing. And i work for Advanced tech support for sprint. And i mean im nice to people and most people here are. But i dont know about all that i really dont care. When i look at a good network for voice and data mostly data sprint really is the best. Verzop 2nd then At%t how most people here see it from what they have had in the past.

[NissanShift]

Sprint PDA's dont suck. They got the best ones and there on EVDO Rev 0. They got the 700p the 700w 755p now the Palm Centro. Also got 6800 mogel and the 6900 touch phone. Over all they got the best out there. And AT$T not even EVDO there 1xRTT Witch is slow shit. Why buy a pda with 1XRTT Network?

[NissanShift]

I mean iphone cool and all but limited to features when it comes to apps. Its just good for music and video. Well hmm are pda's do that to. and MORE

[NissanShift]

I phone sucks wont play any apps on it all web based. My firends got the Iphone and they both said they wished they keeped there Mogel 6800 with sprint becuase they miss all the apps they could run with it that iphone just wont do. But what do i know i guess nothing. Worked in Advanced tech support for sprint i know all the ups and downs of cell phones.

[sgtpetsounds]

LOL HURF DE DURF I WORK IN CELL PHONEZ I KNOW EVERY THING LMAO

ever consider that there are other people who've done the same thing as you and/or more? seriously man, working as a lackey script reader in a call center doesn't mean much.

[himynameisjooney]

anybody know what song this is?

[karmawolf]

It's Souvenirs by Architecture In Helsinki

[himynameisjooney]

thank you so much!

[monkey93wipe]

great commercial, but sprint is still the gayest network.

[NissanShift]

Man fuck you i work for sprint i rather have them then Gay verizon that cuts off your so called unlimited data plans when you go over 3 gigs per month.

[monkey93wipe]

i dont care sprint has no features. verizon has v-cast and good phones, t-mobile has myFaves, at&t has rollover minutes, and sprint has NOTHING

[NissanShift]

lol What ever lol sorry to be rude but sprint does have the best phones. Thats the main reson why most people like sprint its because of the Technology of the phones. Also i heard that V Cast sucks from people that had verizon that gone to sprint. They were like Vcast thing horribe. Sprint Vision alot better. I mean i dont know i never tried v cast but new sprint customer like Sprint Vision more then V cast.

[asimjazz]

sprint has simply everything for 99.99 dig that !!!!!!

[michaelhsiung]

Great Commercial but too bad Goodby & Silverstein and Sprint decided to not pay 2 of the flashlight animators for 30 second spots. Way to support independent artists, big corporate jerks.

[Sunshinestar]

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEE this commercial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get chills everytime it comes on! My favorite commercial of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vasiberianhusky]

does anybody else realize that sprints moto now is something like "download things at the speed of light" ... wireless signals can't move at the speed of light.. I hope people realize that.. false advertisement???

[georgiergurl]

Wats the name of this song in this commerical!!!! I luv when the kids go lalalal!!

[MASAKR]

Architecture in Helsinki - Souvenirs, from the album Fingers Crossed. Nice song, super-nice commercial!

[icemaestro]

Can somebody please upload the new sprint holiday commercial?

[Manurbd1]

Ist already uploaded just serch for Sprint Holiday Skating Commercial

[Capuchin133]

does anybody know what song they use for the new holiday commercial???

[thegerbilguy1]

How to do the animation: Set a video camera to low exposure and wave a flashlight around. play the clip and it should look likes the lights in this commercial :D

[rchapaElPaso]

This commercial actually makes me feel sad. When the narrator says "would you go back in time?" it reminds me of people I knew personally or liked that have now passed away and I wish I could actually go back in time to when they were alive. The music sounds sad too.

[iceaquarius92]

the commercial may be sad and the part of the song they played sounds sad but if you listen to the whole song its not sad at all.. to me anyway.. i happen to like it and a few of their other songs too but their new albom isnt as good :(

[icemaestro]

Can someone tell me where I can download or find a clip of the new holiday sprint commercial? With the skating?

[illgethighanddrive]

Soooo I'm looking for the ANOTHER version of the sprint flashlightanimation commercial. The one I'm looking for is just a small stream of light bouncing all over a city, set to a great song that I am set on finding. Anyone know where to view the video?

[RandomClipsHD]

I've got it here; video code sOmijBESP3o

RandomClipsHD

[tjking13]

The song is by Architecture in Helsinki and its called souvenirs.

[whoaitsconner]
