Not sure what to make of this video by Niyazbekov Productions, which apparently did those all pervasive Alga Kazakhstan commercials during the Asian Games, among other things.

First of all, it’s certainly one of the best pieces of work I’ve seen done in Kazakhstan. The CGI, the quality, the directing and camera angles are extremely professional. And I’m all for the message not to waste your life partying and drinking. But the image of Almaty under attack is a bit disturbing, and I’m not sure what the author thought these young adults were supposed to do, if they weren’t having a snowball fight. Maybe I’m being too harsh.
