Watch: How This Gatorade Ad Brought Water to Life Without a Drop of CGI
Using a “liquid printer” and strobe photography, this Gatorade ad is definitely one of the coolest videos you’ll see this week.
Sometimes a video comes along that reminds you of how infinitely creative human beings can be. The G Active ad for Gatorade is one of them. It has been making its rounds all over the interwebz, but just in case you’ve been on a tech fast for the last month, this video features what is essentially a human made of water droplets doing a bunch of athletic stuff, like running, jumping, and kicking a heavy bag. Sounds cool, right? The coolest thing, though, is that it was all done without CGI. Check out the ad below, and then continue on to find out how it was done.
Now, who is the genius (or geniuses) behind this incredible ad? UK-based production company Unit9 called upon DP James Medcraft to lens this thing, as well as come up with an innovative way to bring this water-droplet athlete to life.

David Mamet Reveals Why Movies Don’t Need Dialogue and More No-Nonsense Screenwriting Lessons
Legendary playwright and screenwriter David Mamet discusses his no-nonsense approach to writing.
David Mamet doesn’t mince words. He doesn’t in his writing (Al Capone in The Untouchables: “You get further with a kind word and a gun than you do with a kind word”). He doesn’t in his dramatic writing MasterClass (“Godard said every movie has to have a beginning, middle, and end, but not necessarily in that order. And that’s why French movies are so effing boring”). And he certainly didn’t in his recent interview with No Film School, during which he told us, “Hollywood is a cross between a spa and a cesspool.”
Mamet has authored dozens of award-winning plays and screenplays, including The Verdict, The Untouchables, Hannibal, and Glengarry Glen Ross, for which he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1984. He has also directed a number of his own screenplays, such as The Spanish Prisoner and House of Games, which won Best Film and Best Screenplay awards at the 1987 Venice Film Festival.
