| sergiodaly said: NCIS LA and Hawai 5-0 have lots of episodes where they talk about MS products, ain't just there in the background, they talk about it. a very obvious HIMYM episode had so much MS products that is was obvious it was a MS marketing buy out... there are so much iphones in TV shows. i'm sure apple pays some of them. its smart business to mix and promote your products in productions (games, movies, tv shows, etc) as long as there are no added lines in the script to mention it. how stupid would be if he had lots of electronics and none were from sony? sure people like that does exist, but the other way around exist too. the writer was trying to take it out of proportion because it is not in your face and does not break immersion IMO. |
Surface tablets are almost ubiquitous in Elementary. They go to great lengths to ensure characters flip out that kickstand at least once an episode. As long as the characters are using the products in a natural way and not holding them to the camera and saying "Man this [product] is so awesome everyone should get it!" then who really cares. It helps pay for a movie/TV show to get made so it spreads the risk a bit. And why shouldn't Sony use it's own movie to put loads of different products in there?
I saw a nice shot of "Sony" on Arrow last night, just the top corner of the laptop screen at the bottom of the TV screen. Noticeable but not in your face. But again, a laptop, which Sony is dropping like a hot coal
