Chuck in 3D tonight : No, Thank you!

By Daniel Lim on Monday, Feb 2nd 2009 4 Comments

The enthusiasm for 3D ads before the big game really got to the millions of home viewers. I actually went though three local food stores to get my own 3D glasses. So there we were, a roomful of Super Bowl fans stood in front of a 106-inch projector-powered HD screen, dorky looking paper framed 3D glasses plastered to our faces, waiting patiently for the 3rd-dimension broadcast. The 3D Monsters and Sobe lizards came on as soon as the game halted for the halftime break; but they were a huge disappointment.

It’s funny you can’t hear a darn thing during the game on a Superbowl party but it’s usually dead quiet during the commercial break, then a big laugh as soon as its ends. That’s the effect of $90,000 per second commercial spot, it is as good as it gets in the industry. We expect nothing less than mind-blowing ingenuity and creativity. If you’ve followed the news on Toshiba’s Superbowl ad, a week before the game, you probably wonder why it never get aired.
