But you should know that the creators of that commercial have been involved in similar "art projects" for a long time before they got the Honda gig. See for instance their DVD, "The Way Things Go". I happen to have seen it and it's terrific fun!

(Not done in one take though, as they have openly acknowledged, but, still, wonderfully low-tech stuff -- and with lots of chemistry! Smoke, fire, bangs, the lot.)

I don't think it is the same people. Other wise

"In May 2003, filmmakers Peter Fischli and David Weiss threatened legal action against Honda over similiarities between the "Cog" commercial and "The Way Things Go," a 30-minute film they produced in 1987 involving "100 feet of physical interactions, chemical reactions, and precisely crafted chaos worthy of Rube Goldberg or Alfred Hitchcock." "
doesn't make a whole lot of sense
