Page 1 of You seen that Honda advert?

You know the one, the `chain-reaction` one. Absolutely fantastic piece of TV..

And can someone vrify that there was something along these lines many years ago. (Broadcast on BBC2, I think) It followed the same format, but it included chemical reactions that took so long, they were used as tape edit points.

Yes. Very very good. How many takes?

Some of it looks like CGI to me!

it`s all one take, and it`s all real. The guys that did this are in the same vein of the guys that spend a couple of months setting up those big domino displays. Like I said earlier. This kind of thing has been done before, I think as part of an art thing. the only improbable part is the little fake sparks on the battery terminals.

No, a lot of it is CGI, and its not all been done in one take. But it is a very clever advert.

Great ad but can someone tell me how the electric window winds down while theres a plank of wood through the glass?

The plank has been cut, go to the website and you can pause it at any moment. Chewie, what parts are CGI?

The bit when the wheel goes up the ramp does not look right to me (It does not look as if it is hit with enough force to roll up the ramp) is it it just me?!

Theres no way thats all real and done in one take

When I said `one take?` I meant I wondered how many times it took to get it all to work. If it`s real I think it`s all one `take`.

The patience though...
