This is so cool! Wonder who has seen it before?

New Honda commercial:

At last, departure from boring highway, tracks, and nature themes.

[zark]

Yeah I've seen that, awesome commercial. Apparently it isn't CG, just took a LOT of takes to get right.

[The Ultimate DooMer]

I first saw it a while ago, must be a few minutes long (who thought that up?). Bet they took ages to get it right...

How in the hell does the tire slow down, then pick up speed again?

Well, I dunno, but I know that the tires were weighted.

[Disorder]

I can't see whether it's CGI or not. But some of the cameramovements feel a little too perfect. Either way it is a hell of a lot of work. Unbelievable commercial.

[Fredrik]

Hmm I don't think it's CGI, but I could be wrong.

[Zoorado]

It is definitely not CGI rendered, not even a bit of camera trick involved. According to various news reports, this whole commercial took 606 takes to complete. Apparently if something goes off-course by even 1/16 of an inch, the chain reaction will not have the desired effect. It is a work of art, by people with passion, not by those striving for profit.

[Epyo]

Now THAT's nuckin futs! Is there a name for these kindsa things cause I've seen a few before. Other than "chain reaction" I mean.

[Remilia Scarlet]

Hmm, I want to buy an Accord now. heh, I especially like the windshield wipers.

The same way a car does.

[Arioch]

There's one bit of cheating involved, with the muffler I think.

[Use]

The muffler looked really suspicious...

And that would be a with a person driving the car, I'd imagine.

[zark]

Who cares how it was done, it's frickin awesome!

I want to set one of those up in my house.

[Tobester]

I used to be able to do that with slinkys, dominos, and a sleeping cat, properly positioned.

except it had nothing to do with cars.

Actually I only meant an outside force that causes or caused acceleration, but that's one way :P
