Neat honda commercial

[GNSS]

Pretty cool considering the amount of time and effort that went in to it , not to mention the amount of retakes.

This was posted a few weeks ago and has to be fake. Look at the tires accelerate up the ramp. There is no way that this is real.

The tires were weighted at the top on the inside, so that the lightest touch would push them foward causing the weight to "pull" the tire up the ramp.

You can make tires go up a ramp by straping weights on the inside.

Quote:

"At one point three tyres, amazingly, roll uphill. They do so because inside they have been weighted with bolts and screws which have been positioned with fingertip care so that the slightest kiss of kinetic energy pushes them over, onward and, yes, upward. During the pre-shoot set-ups, film assistants had to tiptoe round the set so as not to disturb the feather-sensitive superstructure of the arranged metalwork. The slightest tremor of an ill-judged hand could have undone hours of work."

If you like that commercial then you should see the Rube Goldberg contest held every year at Purdue University. Their are some machines just as creative as that commercial!

I actually heard that it was done in ONE take. Don't know if its true or not. but knowing how good Honda Engineers are I believe it..

That is awesome.

And for a station wagon, it's not that bad looking!
