On his website, Scot states:

This is a national advertisement for the DIY Network’s programming block “Nailed at Nine” Produced by King & Country in Los Angeles. We filmed a bunch of nail juggling and hammer juggling and these were the cuts they liked best.

Tons of people have been seeing this commercial on TV. If you’ve seen it, send me an email and say hi. It’s the best commercial I’ve done so far. Thank you to DIY Network and thank you to TV manufacturers.

Cool blend of CGI and real skills.
Its a viral for a computer game where you wiggle your thumbs around, and some pixel people to do clever things with a pretend football.
I’m not linking to it, but apparently according to the about section of the site, it allows you to “Express Yourself Like Never Before….”
Don’t believe the Hype.
