If any of you haven't seen the advert for the new Honda Accord then I sincerely recommend that you do so now. (http://194.29.64.17/thecog/cog.mov)

If it intrigues you then have a read of this (http://www.news.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=%2Fnews%2F2003%2F04%2F13%2Fnhonda13 .xml) for more information.

Bear in mind that the full resolution TV ad reveals far more mind boggling detail but you'll get the idea.

Wow. That was absolutely amazing! I can't believe they had the patience to set that whole thing up and do 606 takes, no less! :eek:

WOW!!!!!!!!
that is like the best car commercial I have ever seen.

It’s a Rube Goldberg machine. Something that is extremely complicated in design that accomplishes a trivial task. None the less, it's still amazing.

Would a GM commercial be different - parts not working at all or falling off a finished car?

Maybe Mazda can see if they can do the same with far less takes, using parts from the RX-8.

that is simply one of the best working rube goldberg device i have ever seen. hats off to the people involved in designing and implementing it!!:cool:

you sit there mesmerized, thinking its the greatest commercial ever, waiting to see... waiting to see... a station wagon *sigh*

I've probably watched it 50 times. I'm addicted.

...i dunno... some of that seriously looks like it's CG animation... damned good CG animation, but the wheels rolling UP the ramp with such little momentum transfer, then STICKING there just doesn't look very real, among some of the other things...

[edit] ahhhh, okay, read Lensmans' supporting info link... never mind. :)

This movie was amazing, I was going to post it on the forum but found it in a search. The thread is 2 years old, I figured that most poeple have not seen it.

I found the video here, http://www.ebaumsworld.com/honda-ad.html , it downloads faster off of this site.

In case anyone still doubts it:

Too Cool!

What I want to see is the video of the crew when take 606 was successful.
