A very cool Honda commercial!
« on: January 02, 2006, 09:46:03 AM »
You have got to respect theffort put into this!

Here is the text from the website:

This Advertisement for the new Honda Accord was shot in real time with no CGI involved in the sequence. It required 606 takes and cost $6 million to shoot and took 3 months to complete.

The equipment was so precisely set up that the crew literally had to tip toe around the set for fear of disturbing things, which led to some unexpected problems. "As the day went on, the studio would get hotter," says Steiner. "It meant that the wood would expand and the cog or exhaust that spins around would move slightly faster." These tiny changes made big differences to the precision set-up of the equipment..... .

.....The sequence where the tires roll up a slope looks particularly impressive but is very simple. Steiner says that there is a weight in each tire and when the tire is knocked, the weight is displaced and in an attempt to rebalance itself, the tire rolls up the slope

Yes, that is definitely an old commercial.

I didn't buy it at first, but it looks like it really is as claimed.  Although, it really was two shots, they couldn't get it all on one studio floor:

Scott, you need to quit smoking whatever it is you are smoking, so you can remember the shit that you've already posted.
