Have you guys seen this?
It's all real, no CG trickery involved... it took 606 takes, in fact.
Its good to see that some people still want to make original car ads - every single one is starting to look the same, is it not (or has for the past decade)?
edit: requires Flash 6. If you want to brave the depths of the Slashdot comment section, you can find a QT I believe.
I can't get it to work... :(
That's awesome.
*stares blankly at screen*
Yup, seen it before. Definitely an awesome ad.
Wow, I wonder how long it took them to set up that chain of events.
The Incredible Machine! Cooooool....
hrm... the part with the tires looks kinda fake. i know they "carefully rigged it with nuts and bolts" but it just doesnt seem possible. still, very awsome.
dude, you need to figure out how to get Flash to work on your computer. you've been missing out on a lot.Quote:

Oddly enough, just yesterday I was thinking about how, when I was a kid, I thought those convulted inventions were so cool.
An excellent ad, if a tad long.
Whoa...
That was absolutely incredible. *claps*
I saw something very similar [well, exactly similar] to this in a physics video in high school. It was about 30 minutes long and took place in a gigantic warehouse. And believe it or not, it was even more complex than this. I wish I could recall the name of the video, but I really want to get it someday. Most incredible thing I ever witnessed. I don't think the coming of Christ would amaze me more than that video did.
The creators also seemed rather fond of tires.
Very cool ad. That muffler almost didn't make it.
Very cool but the tire action looks like CG. No way anything rolls uphill without a definite amount of force applied to it. Sending it to my friend, thanks for the link.
edit: I would also say that the part with the seat flipping back is fake as well. Just looks too smooth with that constant angular velocity.:)

That's freaking cool.
Screw me silly. I was too busy watching and didn't bother to read that jabber at the bottom. Yuh, that's it.Quote:

That was awesome.
Wow.
Awesome.
Part of that was CG'ed, to merge 2 long strings into 1.Quote:

Now I'm gonna think every Honda I look at is some sort of Rube Goldberg machine. Even moreso. :p
WoW. That was very creative. Great planning and precision too.
Purty nifty.
The tires had weights in them.Quote:

That was fucking incredible! I love shit like, thanks to link.
/me has fond memories of all the convoluted things he used to create with his Domino Rally play sets.
Its all smoke and mirrors, I saw Sigfried and Roy do the same thing, only they did it with sex toys and nakedness, and the end result was a banner that said, "say 'no' to vaginas"
that was cool
