Last time i checked all wood was biodegradable and balsa wood cost like 4 bucks a sheet. And i think full sized model chair means they just made it so light you couldnt actually sit on it.
Artem musta seen these guys comin a mile away. #toshibaspacechair

You're right, I bet that Toshiba forgot to consult the internet, and just wasted thousands of dollars on a prop for an advertisement.
As experts like you and I know, there's nothing special to consider at all when shooting video, especially when you do it unmanned from a balloon at 50,000 feet.
It's obviously not rocket science. #toshibaspacechair

My point is they over hyped the dinky chair. Its just a gussied up piece of light wood. They act like its special, its a lightweight prop well painted and made of wood so they needn't bother retrieving it. The people who made it is a props company.
The balloon technology has been around for decades, you hang a rig from it and send it up. It makes all your object length stationary so the optics are quite simple especially with a modern camera. Im also an amateur photographer/holographer so im quite aware of that branch of physics as well.
Not every pithy comment on the internet is filed as serious commentary by a fool. #toshibaspacechair

You seem awfully stubborn about your off-hand assertion that Toshiba got ripped off by a prop company. I still think it's entirely possible that Toshiba's ad agency has some connections in the industry, managed to negotiate a reasonable price for the prop, and shot the commercial using trained professionals.
But maybe you're right, aeronautical photo-holographer. Maybe the prop company could have done it for about $50, and they went and filled a bathtub with all the extra money they got out of this - which would also be a great way to save money on their upcoming bathtub commercial. In this economy, everybody's got to get creative!
Man, I hope you don't also run a side business involving bathtubs. That would be egg on my face. #toshibaspacechair

My husband was hit in the head by your falling chair and is now dead!
Yeah, but did you see the commercial? #toshibaspacechair
