  Too bad that 99% of people will think it's fake. (Especially the parts
which have been speeded up look like that, as it might not be completely
obvious that it has been speeded up.)

Of course it is fake, but I found it hilarious. It is a brilliant 
concept. I particularly laughed at the pong session. I wonder how many 
of the youngsters here have ever played that game.
But how come you already know where to find the reference to the making of?

  Well, that's a disappointment.

Now that they point out which bits are fake, it's pretty easy to recognize. 
Fun, tho.

Kind of reminds me of that beer commercial:

Probably easier to put this one together without computers, tho. :-)

The video made the rounds 2 weeks ago. I've seen a few sheep herding 
competitions and handled farm animals so there was no way this could be 
real, so I did some checking. Border collies are good (I've seen some 
herding geese !), but not *** that *** good. In any case the link to the FX 
shop comes up in the second page of a Google search for LED+sheep.
And yes, the video is great, there's nothing disappointing about it being 
fake if one knows it's impossible anyway.

How would you keep the black and white sheeps together and in place when 
forming the big sheep? What would the dogs have to do to move one leg of 
sheep through another without disrupting that group?
Also how do you keep the middle line in pong more or less positioned 
while there is a group of sheep with dogs passing?
I haven't even got a clue why the mona lise is in there and what they 
try to suggest. Probably only because they can use the leonardo 
baa-vinci joke.
The fireworks is another impossibility in coordinating closely 
positioned sheep groups.

although IANASH, I though it had 'fake' written all over it.

I hadn't seen it, so probably I have not the right group of friends. :(

I think the idea was they put different colors on different sheep, then 
herded them to form pixels, and painted the mona lisa in 10x10 blocks or 
something like that, taking pictures and stitching them together at the end.

  I didn't say "I don't believe it's computer-generated". I said "well,
that's a disappointment".

I didn't say you did. I simply explained why *I* didn't expect anything 
else. The key is in my last line. One you didn't quote.
