Playstation 3

In this commercial for the Sony Playstation 3 games console, a set based on a typical sitting-room was rigged with pyrotechnics which, when triggered created the sequence shown. The sequence was filmed at 550 fps and Machine Shop Supervisor, Paul Mann, had only one opportunity to calculate the timing of the sequence so that on playback its duration was correct.
