yeah that was my one question about it too. i wish i could see whats on top of that board....i mean, everything else seems to make sense, there must be something im missing with the tires

No Gods For Me
As I understand it, the tires had weights on the inside (on the up-ramp side). Just a touch and the center of gravity shifts to the up-ramp side and the tire rotates up, hitting the next tire. Easy, but was probably a bitch to set up.

Actually the entire thing is real. The muffler would tumble like that. To be sure, I just tested a simlar shaped clock i have and a football end over end. Plus, I don't see why it wouldn't.

the small amount of force that the first tire was hit with doesn't really seem to be enough to transfer that same force through TWO tires up a 45 degree ramp. I still don't buy it, even if there were weights in it.
I still think it's a very cool commercial, I just don't think it was as real as people make it out to be.

Filming was done over four near-sleepless days in a Paris studio, after one month of script approval, two months of concept drawings and a further four months of development and testing. One of the more surprising things about the ad is that it was not a cheat. Although it would have been much easier to fiddle the chain of events by using computer graphics, the seesaw and shunt of events really did happen, and in one, clean take.
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.
