Yes, particularly as Massive is being used a lot these days. I guess it 
lends well itself to this kind of ideas. I've seen a similar commercial 
where legions of people were running in the countryside and eventually 
formed a giant bridge for instance.. OTOH, I've received over the years a 
small trickle of job offers from game, movies and advertising companies, so 
I know that some of them have been looking at my website (and the creative 
director of this particular ad is a French guy).
In any case, watching that giant walk was cool.
