Check this out, do you think this really happened the way they say it did. Perty amasing if it is.
http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/honda.php And you thought those people that set up roomfuls 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 $6M and took three months to complete including full
engineering of the sequence. In addition, it's 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!).
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.
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.
