This video is actually an advertisement, though it's not obvious - as with so many ads - that it's an ad until near the end.
It has a nice humour to it.
It was made for Gautrain, a modern rapid rail and bus service for Gauteng in South Africa, which opened its doors on June 8. The new service is being promoted with “Wind”, a commercial directed by Keith Rose from Velocity Films. [Thanks to Duncan Macleod for alerting me to it. Duncan has a blog where he focuses on innovative advertising.]

Made by Cows since 1886
For something that's beautifully done (the opening shot has a wonderful feel about it) check out the Anchor products ad - I think it's one of a number they've done, and it's very well done too. And full of visual humour.
It must have been quite a trial working with a large number of cows, none of whom appear to be CGI.
Unfortunately I can't embed it here, but the link should take you straight to it.
