Perhaps it's the effect of all that hype. Perhaps it's because Balls was so difficult to top. But we're feeling just a little, well, underwhelmed by Fallon's finally-released, long-awaited, 70,000 litres of paint-splashing new Sony Bravia spot.

Watch it here

For all the spectacular explosions and beautifully choreographed music of the commercial, the accompanying photographs taken from the shoot are actually the more beautiful and certainly the more intriguing images.

Some Paint Facts
* Paint took 250 people ten days to film
* 70,000 litres of non-toxic paint was mixed
on site by 60 people
* 455 mortars, 1700 detonators and 622 bottle bombs full of paint were used
* 330 metres of steel piping was used as launch tubes
* It took 60 people five days to clean up all the mess after the shoot
* Queen’s Court estate in Toryglen, Glasgow, where the ad was shot, is due for demolition
