i saw the myth busters do something similair to this....amazing. to me anyhow
And you thought those people who set up roomfuls of dominos to knock over were
amazing. 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. By the time it
was over, they were ready to change professions.
The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete
including full engineering of 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
downloaded 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.
Everything; you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp, and
complete Honda Accord) is parts from those two cars. The voiceover is Garrison Keillor. 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 doing
their thing automatically as soon as they become wet.
