    Unbelievable Honda add


    (large flash movie)

    I read somewhere it took over 600 takes to get it right... Everything is true (no tricks); even the wheels running up (they have weights on top, causing them to roll uphill).

            Several dodgy things i have noticed:
            1) The wiper robot thing, stops walking when it hits its target
            2) The exhaust rolls....a bit strange
            3) the speakers look fake when they vibrate
            Other than that its very cool

                    This keeps being discussed, but it's all real, with one splice. Just be impressed.

                    I am hosting a higher res QuickTime version.

                    Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.

                      No it doesn't. You can see the split in the wood, and the little spring shaped things hold up the ends right by the glass. It's two pieces of wood.

                        Now you know what that $40 "TV ad setup crew sedative fee" is for when you buy a new Honda.

                              Very VERY neat.

                              One quesiton, where did they find a room/place long enough to do such a thing? That setup must have gone on for like 1000+ feet.
