Re: This video is just sick - Honda Commercial
[ QUOTE ]
First off I have worked in the automotive retail industry for 5 years so I am inclined to comment with a reasonably amount of certainty that the physical representations brought forth in the video are not plausable. [/ QUOTE ] Certainly then you did not bother to read the link that someone posted on the making of the commerical, it answers many questions.

[/ QUOTE ] Ok and just to rag a little, how does being a car salesman (ie automotive retail) have anything do with engineering? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] from the link 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.

Re: This video is just sick - Honda Commercial
because if it really cost X million dollars and all those man hours, they are stupid NOT to have done it with computers, and just tell everyone it was real.

[/ QUOTE ] What if it cost x+1 million dollars to do it with computers? Computers are not magic and they don't make things cheap by default. Ever read about the special effects costs of movies? The good stuff cost serious cash. To be cheap they could have filmed it in 10 parts and then put them together. Individually none of the tricks are super hard. It is just have 2 dozen of them in a row. And finally, if it was all CG wouldn't you think one of the couple dozen people that worked on it, would want to take credit for it?
