Honda commercial

[Devious]

    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.

  When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it
  immediately without any hesitation - including the costs.
 
   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.

Clever ..Not too sure about the wheels rolling UP the ramp..

I'm still a skeptic, but it seems like that could all be done. Eitherway, pretty cool!

I found this...
".....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"

cool commercial - although the agency got sued by two Swiss artists who had created an artwork in the 80s that is what the Honda commercial is, but it's about a half-hour long.

check it

Fun! I also dont belive the wheels rolling up the ramp or the muffler going as far as it did but it was STILL fun to watch thanks Devious.
