HONDA---ONE OF THE GREATEST COMMERCIALS

Authenticated by Snopes.com and in their own words, this video is a "complicated Honda Accord commercial ...achieved without the use of computer-generated images."

Snopes.com continues to say: "The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again.

The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete including a full engineering of the sequence.

In addition, it's two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us in clover for a lifetime. Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply in free viewings.

There are six and only six hand-made Accords in the world. To the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two to make the film."

That is amazing. Did you create this or took it from somewhere else. I could watch it again, because it was fasinating.
