Of course, it is both CG and an advert. But a damn hilarious one.

It's an ad, but the shepherding is real, actually.

They got some Welsh champion shepherd(s) to do it, apparently.

(Well, okay, I suppose the article I read could be a pack of lies; didn't do that much investigating.)

Aspects of it would be real, totally. But to that extent? CG. Almost definitely. I'll eat my hat should it turn out I'm wrong.

Partly CG'd or not, that is just brilliant! LOL

Well, even if only half of it was real it would still win prizes in the "crazy ways to spend your time" category...

Here's an article that doesn't make it sound like that much of it was CG:

Then again, the exact meaning of that guy's statement clearly is open to interpretation. But, from what I've heard about shepherding, this does not *seem* particularly impossible - just insanely silly. So I'm kind of inclined to believe that most of it is real.
