This is a pretty cool ad.... Click on site after reading this: >Just Unbelievable! And you thought those people that set up a room full >of dominos to knock over were amazing... > > There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. >Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it. > > The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually >very minor, didn't work. > > They would then have to set the whole thing up again. > > The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. > > By the time it was over, they were ready to change professions. > > The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete >including full engineering of the sequence. > > In addition, it is two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film >on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any >one of us in clover for a lifetime. > > However, it is fast becoming the most downloaded advertisement in Internet history. > > Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply in >"free viewings" > > (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this commercial!). > > When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it >immediately without any hesitation - including the costs. > > There are six, and only six, hand-made Honda Accords in the world. To >the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them >to make the film. > > Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp >and complete Honda Accord) is parts from those two cars. > > The voiceover is Garrison Keillor. When the ad was shown to Honda >executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer >graphics have gotten. > > They fell off their chairs when they found out it was for real. > Oh. And about those funky windshield wipers...On the new > Accords, the windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start doing >their thing automatically as soon as they become wet. It looks a bit >weird in the commercial. |

yeah i would like to say it wasn't but tires wouldn't roll up a ramp from just a little bump like that. even though it was computer animated, it was damn cool. i remember seeing it on tv all the time.
