Giant Drawing for Shiseido

I’m not sure if this is a production advertisement or perhaps a viral marketing video - whatever it is, it is really cool! While I’ve seen Chinese peasants practicing calligraphy with a mop and water, the scale of this is definitely much larger. Watch as the guy paints a picture many times his size - and when others join in the fun as well! I really wonder how he maintains a sense of proportion and perspective over such a large canvas though.

    haha. WOW this is indeed amazing! It isn’t CGI’ed right?

    On the same token, remember those old cinema posters which used to be painted? Say, someone would paint Schwarzenegger’s face for the Terminator poster, as opposed to having a giant-sized print these days… I wonder how those artists did those kinda paintings, and still maintained a sense of scale and perspective.
