Coolest commercial ever.
This is from an e-mail I got. Really awesome.
This is the New Honda Commercial in the U.K. Go to this website and
>watch this commercial....you won't believe it! There are no
>computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see
>really happened in real time exactly as you see it. The film took
>606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor,
>didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again.
>The crew spent weeks shooting night and day.
>The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete,
>including a full engineering the sequence. In addition, it's two
>minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British
>television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us
>in clover for a lifetime.
>
>However, it is fast becoming the most down loaded advertisement in
>Internet history. Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for
>itself simply in "free" viewings (Honda isn't paying a dime to have
>you watch this commercial!). When the ad was pitched to senior
>executives, they signed off on it immediately without any
>hesitation-including the costs. There are six and only six handmade
>Accords in the world. To the horror of Honda engineers, the
>filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the film. Everything you

>Honda Accord) are parts from those two cars. When the ad was shown
>to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing
>computer graphics have gotten. They fell off their chairs when they
>found out it was for real.

>Oh! And about those funky windshield wipers. On the new Accords,
>the windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start

>a bit weird in the commercial. Just one-second of computer
