Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert

This is on TV at the moment and if you haven't seen it you can view the advert on youtube below:

What do people think ? I find it quite strange and freaky.

Good advert but strange. No doubt will get people talking about it.

I think its really strange and creepy. But its also really compelling in that I have to watch it when its on.

10/10 for originality.

Seen it tonight for the first time to. I actually like it. Probably because I can do the same with my eye brows but not the shaking part that was pure madness lol.

dunno how they kept from laughing while making the clip ??

I hate it. Wonder how many millions were spent and how many pennies it put on a bar of chocolate...

Watched this last night and I was hoping to forget it until this thread came up

I think it's CGI...anyone else agree??

either that or some very overpaid little actors. can't find anything on costs, strangely that press release is missing from the cadbury site, but it's by the same people who did the trucks and the gorrila ads.

Its time lapse photography. Its a collection of still images played one after another.

@lauzjp: yeah but, Cadbury's always make excellent adverts.

@Kymmy: I was thinking the opposite.

course it is I am surprised anyone thinks its real tbh. What I imagine they did is take a series if stills with all the expressions then used cgi to put them in place

Parts of it like the part were the girl does it really fast half way through I dont beleive's real but the rest is easily possible as I can do it myself.

Knowing that doesn't make it any less creepy

prove it

I expect to see your version on youtube this evening or I do not believe you hehehehehehehe

Definitely computers involved somewhere, although I think some of the stuff might have been done simply by speeding the film up a little bit. Eyebrow wiggling is an acquired skill, but once you waste enough time learning how to control the muscles that do it, it's fairly easy ... just not at the speed they're doing it!

they could have always used lots of tape and string and then just CGI'd it out
