What a commercial!

Post by **AZhitman** » Tue Jun 10, 2003 8:13 am

This is a H**** auto commercial that ran in the UK. As you watch it, keep in mind that this is ALL real. It reportedly took 606 takes, and over 4 days to accomplish. There was no trick photography, video editing, or computer generation.

This first link is to the commercial itself. http://www.daboyz.org/honda/

This link is the explanation of how it was done. http://tinyurl.com/9jp8

Apologies if you've seen it before - I've watched it like 10 times...

Supposedly one of the artists admitted they used CGI for some scenes.

Tires moving up a hill..cmon..

no it was all real.. the tires were weighted so they would roll up hill.. atleast thats what i read.. i dunno

Post by **Anand** » Tue Jun 10, 2003 8:13 am

yea, you can make a tire roll up hill... you have to place a weight perfectly placed so when struck it will help roll the tire up and not down... try it yourself...

To get the tires to roll uphill they had bolts standing straight up in the tires, and when the tire before it knocked into it, the bolts fell and weighted the tire enough to rolluphill. That is the most amazing commercial I have ever seen!
