I don't know understand technology, movie special effects, or voodoo. Here's what I understand -- this commercial spot for The Beatles Rock Band is pretty damned slick.
If you don't understand the reference, well... this is a videogame Web site, not a music history lesson. Consider picking up The Beatles Rock Band on September 9. Maybe you'll learn something, eh?
I'm completely dumbfounded as to how they got all of The Beatles (or at least the best damn Beatles look-alikes) into this ad. I doubt there's just stock footage of the Beatles walking around in their Abbey Road outfits, grabbing at guitars. Great job... whoever.
Wonder Woody: Yeah, I know half of 'em are dead. Hence my dumbfoundedness. And I don't think they're super-imposed because, like I said, who has stock footage of them just walking around in their Abbey Road outfits?
I heard that they are the actual Beatles, but they used lookalikes as well. Well done Harmonix! You know how to make an actual ad, without using sexy ladies in shirts, dancing with plastic guitars.

Awesome. Dude let's all go to the mall, watch 9, then pick up The Beatles: Rock Band at the GameStop I pre-ordered it from and jam out all night long.
Also, good ad.
You're both wrong. 3 of them are dead.
