I sincerely hope he manages to get all the gold medals he wishes for this season from now on so he doesn't look quite as forlorn as that ACI picture.

A question that just occurred to me: is...that actually old footage of him in the mirror or a child dressed up like him? I somehow assumed the former since I know there was footage of child Yuzu jumping in those clothes and it looks very similar but then I looked at the lighting and was like 'how could they isolate old footage + adjust lighting so well....' 

 

So uh, I guess more likely it's an actor (I noticed he only did a 2 turn spin so maybe they found some kid with Yuzu's body type from the local skating school??? What a find...)

 

I actually think it's him..

I was wondering the same but I was almost sure it's him. They just cropped the background.

I cannot actually look at that footage without getting the hibby jeebies. 

I may have watched The Exorcist when I was quite young so some things just traumatized me.

I'm positive I have seen that jumping bb mush before... 

 

And don't underestimate the power of CGI

 

Edit: Oh there you go. Our @kaeryth. videographic memory strikes again!!

Ah, but this is much easier to do since the background is a single block of color (white), though green or blue work much better for CGI. With the footage from his childhood, though, they had to extract him from a much busier background. And the final product looks great!

Which is why I’m amazed - that’s a tricky background! They even added some of the lighting I think? It must have have been almost frame by frame. And if you look closely, they got all his flying hair too (how??? Granted I have no idea what video editing/masking witchcraft exists now, maybe they can track colours or motion or something now)

 

(lol what Yuzu bts, show me the editing room and their screens!)

I still think that Plushenko was sincere about praising Yuzuru at the P&G event yesterday. Probably some part of it was PR, I wouldn't deny it and we know Plushenko earns big $$$ from his shows in Japan. But his recent interviews for Russian media show how much he admires Yuzuru and Plushenko doesn't need to say that in Russia. In the most recent one (source) when asked which current skater could skate his iconic programs, he said that only Yuzuru could do them justice.

In the same interview he also said that both Patrick and Javi still have great chances to medal at Olys.

 

I agree. He only holds back his praise in some countries for PR reasons, but never contradicts himself by praising someone else as highly as he did Yuzu. I believe Sasha looks up to Yuzu because Plushenko has shown him videos of Yuzu as the ideal skater. That, and also because the Pooh rain is adorable to watch. =P

idk about in japan but in the uk P&G had made like full 5 minute adverts for these kinds of things. they tend to not be ran very frequently because they have to rent out the entire advertisement block to show it, so they'll have shorter variations, but i bet with things like the Yuzu ad and youtube being a thing it's way worth making a really long one.

 

With so many trailers, it wouldn't make sense for the commercial to be short....unless P&G is as extra as Zuzu?

I lowkey can't wait to hear some high grade bullshit from Yuzuru about how shaving is important to figure skating in some way.
