Honda Commercial

[McAttack]

This is pretty amazing. In the age of virtual shortcuts, this took a lot of patience. This is a Honda commercial that is either out or due out shortly. Supposedly took 606 takes (that's SIX-HUNDRED AND SIX TAKES) to get it right. The story is the link below. It explains (among other things) how they got tires to roll uphill w/o special effects. The link to the actual commercial is on the upper right as an external link. Enjoy:

The commercial is discussed in these two threads:

Thread 2

Unfortunately, I doubt we'll see the commercial on anything but in a TV news magazine. The car that's being advertised is the European Accord Wagon, and although Honda is bringing the sedan over as the Acura TSX, I haven't heard plans on also bringing the wagon version. Bummer.
