Colenso BBO, Auckland behind V’s Paintball Machine campaign: 840 paintball barrels, a huge truck, and a MASSIVE green button
Colenso BBDO, Auckland and V Energy Drink built a massive 840 barreled paintball gun, loaded it up on a truck and let it loose on an unsuspecting city.
With the push of a button they are able to shoot an instant piece of art on any wall of their choosing. Proving, with enough energy, anything is possible.
The website was produced by London-based The Rumpus Room, a division of The Sweet Shop.

cool machine. lame video. looks ten years old.
Interesting idea. However, that website is so not cool. cringe.
I saw thi son TV and have to say that the image they splattered on the wall was less than inspiration. I was left with the though, so what?
I like MythBusters too
Hmm. Ok, feels like the were fans of chalkbot.

I’ve seen this video used as reference countless times in the past few years.
Done way before myth busters by the BBC for an art project. The BBC version was so much cooler.
Find something on the internet.
Re-film it.
Add logo.
Like, that’s all the creative work that this required, right? It’s not like they thought up anything new – they just re-branded existing content. kind of, I don’t know…pointlessly.
I don’t think that’s being unduly harsh. But from BBDO…you kind of expect a little more than recycled internet-theft.
