All right, you skeptics. Analyze this!http://home.attbi.com/~bernhard36/honda-ad.html
They claim this is strickly analog/film, no computer enhancement at all.
What do you think?
I have a link that explains how it was done. Will post later.

| There are a couple articles and a documentary on the making off this commercial, they all say there is no CGI at all. It required some 606 takes to get it right. |
Entropy just isn't what it used to be.

You nailed it. Course, this has been out for a while. I first saw it a few months ago and quickly dismissed it as mostly computer manipulation. That is, until I recently came across this amazing explaination...

Talk about a lesson in creativity, perserverance, and success this is! |

from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=%2Fnews%2F2003%2F04%2F13%2Fnhonda13.xml quote:
..When the final, 606th take eventually succeeded, there was a stunned silence around the Paris studio. Then, like shipwrecked mariners finally realising that their ordeal was at an end, the team broke into a careworn chorus of increasingly defiant cheers and hurrahs.
Champagne bottles popped. The cylinder liner had brushed its nose affectionately against the rocker shaft and the gear wheel cog for the last time. The interior grab handles and the suspension spring coils had done their bit. A classic was complete. Cog was in the can.
It was then that the cameraman cried "Oh shit, I've left the lens cap on"

This might not have anything to do with what you are talking about but since you mentioned motor transportation, I finally got around to going to a record store to purchace a song that was on a commerical for a car. I didn't know it WAS a 'real' song, one that a band actually had on a record but when I found out it was wonderful 'cause it's so beautiful.
Well, anyway, after searching the web for the name and the store for the album, I saw it was over $18 dollars. WHAT!!!!!!!? I disappointedly didn't buy it.
The song is called 'Days Go By'. Would you pay $18 for one song? |

I don't know about that, but if they could resurrect John Bonham and get Led Zeppelin together again, there are no limits to what I'd pay. |
Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
