In a recent profile of the agency that did Sirius' latest "Domino" commercial, Smoke and Mirrors New York (SMNY) explains that all 9 scenes of those iPods and MP3 devices toppling over like dominoes were entirely computer generated.
Not that I would have expected anything otherwise, but the effect was so well done that some folks actually thought Sirius bought all those iPods for the spot.
Smoke and Mirrors was involved early in the process starting with the storyboard stage, pre-visuals, shoot supervision, right through to the 3D and final compositing. This spot itself was shot by Andrew Douglas of Anonymous Content and worked on by SMNY's team of VFX specialists.
Oh, and Stiletto 2 is also in 3D in case you were wondering.
I wonder if Sirius and Verizon used the same Marketing company, because the Verizon commercial is on the same topic, with the phones falling like domino's?? Somebody research it!!
Thanks in advance!!

No joking, but the first 4 times I saw the commercial, I thought it was for the iPod.
I like the girls getting a Pont instead of verizon much better.
thj
Here I thought that Sirius was throwing away another few million dollars.
well thank god they werent real Ipods,those are 0.0's only listeners nowadays
Oh JESUS CHRIST SHUT UP ABOUT THE 0.0 THING ALREADY! The whole O&A/Stern pissing match thing is funny sometimes, but every fucking post? Can you leave it alone just for a fucking minute?!
I get it, you're trying to get the pests pissed off, good for you. but do you need to do it for EVERY SINGLE UNRELATED POST on here? It's more than annoying, it's BORING. You say the same fucking thing over and over again. ENOUGH ALREADY!

He can't help it...he's a Stern Zombie. They enjoy driving things into the ground until they strike oil. Look at Stern's show. It's been and endless parade of C celebs and pornstars for years. They still think yelling Bababooey is relevant. I'm almost at a point where I feel sorry for them. Living in the past is no way to go through life. While XM202 has brand new content today, they are listening to a history of an old washed up shock jock on Howard 100.
is it a "two for tuesday" or a "make up stuff tuesday" on the ZOO today?
wocka wocka
PODCAST WILLY HERE WE COME!
I'm Tony Cumia, I'm on vacation in Colorado, and I'm podcasting from my hotel because I hate kids and other people. Wow thats SOOO much more innovative than the entire history of the King of All Media. But at least he's being proactive, since he knows they will be on there soon enough anyways.
Jesus H Christ if I have to hear podcast willy one more fucking time. And obviously youre listening to O and A this week as your hero is on yet another vacation...
Again, I am forced to by my stupid ass coworker who has no taste and cranks up 0.0&Gay. Gag a maggot. I usually keep my headphones on, but sometimes its impossible.
A.C. Go shit in your hat.
No disrespect

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!!! You did it again! You changed O + A to 0.0 and Gay!!!!! Holy shit, I almost crashed my car when I read that!!!! Funny yesterday...funny today!!!!! Are you sure you're not in radio?
"0.0 & Gay" i get it, thats a joke, right?!?! HAHAHAHA. Thats the type of humor i have come to expect lately from these witless howard fans
Once again notice the insecurity of the Howard fans leaving a post about O&A about something not even related to O&A or Howard. Does Sirius suck that much that there is nothing left for you to listen to while Howie is on vacation?
pests waaaaaing about howard fans getting under there skin is priceless!
"Attack!" right?

nah, not getting under my skin. its fun reading the same ten things over and over and over and over by a handful of idiots that decide that they want to ruin an otherwise good site.
its just a shame that Sirius doesnt have anything else good for you zombies to listen to while Howard is on vacation.
Fortunately, O.O & Anal Receiver were removed from my city's airwaves for...christmas music...in September. Now that's funny.
For all of you who say that the O&A animated shorts on iTunes is a great idea, didn't Comedy Central used to have a show with animated comedy from comedians called 'Shorties' or something like that...which was cancelled a long time ago for not being funny. SOooo...now O&A are ripping off the ZOO hacks, Howard Stern, Cancelled Comedy Central shows, and their fans who pay to hear censored radio.
Podcast Willy...Podcast Willy...Podcast Willy.
(sigh) I think it's time to start banning people again.

About time Ryan! Ban these fucking pests who do nothing but choke this site full of stupid ass anti-Howard references. Its getting old. Nobody listens and nobody cares about their crap.
Hey Coward, you sure do know a lot about the O&A show you "Don't listen to"
ANYWAY, back to the post, heaven forbid, I am no Sirius fan, but thought it was a great commercial!
Its a damn good commercial.
On the subject of podcasts here is Anthony's Home Security Video .

"its fun reading the same ten things over and over and over and over by a handful of idiots that decide that they want to ruin an otherwise good site."
-But as we keep reading the same headlines of 'Merger announcement may come soon' or 'NAB says this...again', again and again and again...while all we do is fight over which show is better. Who cares. It's far more entertaining to rib each other over something pointless like this than sitting and waiting for merger news...which according to this site can happen as early as two weeks ago, or soon.
AC complaining about anti-Howard comments is like Hitler calling someone anti-semetic.
Grow up, get a life. We get it, you love Howard Stern, you hate O&A... Fine... Listen to Howard, and others will listen to O&A. One has nothing to do with the other.
Get a life. Kiss a girl for a change, move out of the basement. etc etc etc.
Ryan, PLEASE bring back Type Pad
ATTACK!

oh dear god that PEST picture is CLASSIC!!! I remember it from SFN and opieanthony.net. Good stuff. LAMO!!! (yes, lamos)
We're so devoted to dichotomies (O&A vs Stern, etc.). How can you dislike any of these shock jocks? And why pick just one? IT'S ALL GOOD!
