Awesome Video: More Exciting Than Your Average MLS Game.

Fake? Or real?

Some say the motion of the ball is a little weird but with the crappy video quality, uhm, who can really tell?

The ball would have to be digitally erased and then put back in. That's a lot of After Effects work or whatever.

I thought for sure this was going to be a video for Nike, based on the prominent Nike logo on the ball the first girl puts down. But then the second girl puts down a different brand of ball. So, huh?

What I would do if I was a marketer is grab a professional soccer player or two and have them try to do it for real. (What's David Beckham doing? Are the L.A. Galaxy in the playoffs. Did the MLS playoffs already happen?)

Oh, and girl in tight pants bending over? Nice key frame selection by Yahoo or nice key frame optimizing by the video's creator. Take a, err, bow.
