Epic Spec Ad For Beans Has Major Flaw

cinesite_moon.jpg

This spec ad from effects studio Cinesite is pretty awesome. Several astronauts on the moon are suddenly attacked by a monstrous creature who, it seems, has been awoken from a slumber and isn’t too happy about it. The creature violently slams three astronauts into the ground while a fourth hides behind a rock.

This being an ad for beans, you can basically guess what happens next. However, in space, where there’s no air to carry sound, astronauts can unleash all manner of gaseous output without fear of anyone (without a radio connected to said astronaut) hearing anything…let alone the body-crushing sound effects.

Funny ad. But we’re calling a technicality.
