I was pretty underwhelmed by most of= the spots. Especially the car commercials (the Mercedes one was o.k.). Mos= t of them felt like powerpoint presentations from the marketing department.= A lot of motion graphics thrown around without much substance (yes, I know= , that's an ironic statement considering they are, after all, commercia= ls). But I didn't see anything specifically that blew me away, unlike i= n some past years. Seems like CG is a replacement for "writing" t= hese days.

I was way more interested in the fact they were using UAV drones to cap= ture live shots during the game. Are the cameras on those things proprietar= y, and developed alongside the drones? or are there drone camera manufactur= ers? Considering how heavy most live broadcast cameras are, that's a pr= etty impressive feat of miniaturization. I can't imagine those things a= re cheap.
