Coolest Commercial Ever!!! The New HP Digital Camera Commercials...

[arwalden]

... the ones with the folks taking picture frames and holding them up to real life images in real time and the frame instantly becomes the photo of what it was in front of --- when there was NOTHING there just a moment earlier.

In some versions, the effect is reversed --- a still digital image (on paper) is held up in front of real life until the moving real life "catches-up" with the image then syncs up with the image and then the image disappears into an empty frame.

Or the one where people are "plucking" paper photos out of real life.

Have you seen them?? A very cool and captivating effect... it's just fascinating to watch!

3. They are spectacular.

Ironic that tomorrow my camera trade is going down.
My 8 month old Pentax OptioS for Nikon CP 5400.

It don't fit in an altoids tin, but it does have a 28mm wide angle lens.
And I figure I am old enough for a fairly nice camera. No longer as prone to use it as a weapon. Maybe if I am around for 50, I will get a D100.

My S/O took my userpic with it. It has a surprizingly good super macro mode. I lke secure digital cards.

My back up camera is an Fuji Finepix 4900Z. The 6x zoom is on the edge of what works without a monopod or stabilizing software.
The Smart media is not my favorite way to store pics.

5. Is It An Original Tune For The Commercial? Or Is It...

something that I *ought* to know, but somehow missed it when it was popular?

Title: Picture Book


Picture yourself when you're getting old,
Sat by the fireside a-pondering on.
Picture book, pictures of your mama, taken by your papa a long time ago.
Picture book, of people with each other, to prove they love each other a long ago.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Picture book.
Picture book.

A picture of you in your birthday suit,
You sat in the sun on a hot afternoon.
Picture book, your mama and your papa, and fat old uncle charlie out cruising with their friends.
Picture book, a holiday in august, outside a bed and breakfast in sunny southend.

Picture book, when you were just a baby, those days when you were happy, a long time ago.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Picture book.
Picture book.
Picture book.
Picture book.

Picture book,
Na, na, na, na na,
Na, na, na, na na,
A-scooby-dooby-doo.
Picture book,
Na, na, na, na na,
Na, na, na, na na,
A-scooby-dooby-doo.

Picture book, pictures of your mama, taken by your papa a long time ago.
Long time ago,
Long time ago,
Long time ago,
Long time ago,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.


Have a good day!
