I was pretty under= whelmed by most of the spots. Especially the car commercials (the Mercedes = one was o.k.). Most of them felt like powerpoint presentations from the mar= keting department. A lot of motion graphics thrown around without much subs= tance (yes, I know, that's an ironic statement considering they are, af= ter all, commercials). But I didn't see anything specifically that blew= me away, unlike in some past years. Seems like CG is a replacement for &qu= ot;writing" these 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.
