Sony covers downtown Miami in form for their latest ad “Foam City”.

- The ad uses the world’s biggest foam machine - 2.8m in diameter

- 1,000 litres of water are being used to create 2,000,000 litres of foam per minute

- The rate at which the foam is produced would fill an Olympic swimming pool in 24 seconds

- By the end of the shoot it is estimated 460 million litres of foam will have been produced

- To create the perfect bubbles, Allan the Bubble Professor was hired – with over 15 years experience in the bubble business

- The ad uses custom built bubble machines - made to produce odd shaped bubbles

- 18 people are tasked with creating the foam out of a crew of 150

- The advert uses 3 cameras running 80,000 feet of film. This means 16 hours of running time to produce the 90 second commercial
