This video was made a few years ago in Europe. It instantly became a Honda classic. Enjoy!
There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in these images. Everything that you see happened in real time exactly as you see it. The recording required 606 takes and in the first 605 takes there always was something, usually of minor importance, that didn't work. It was necessary for the recording team to install the set-up time after time and it took several weeks working day and night to achieve this effect. The finished product took 3 months to finish, including the engineering design of the sequence.
Everything you see in the sequence (besides the walls, floor, ramp and untouched Honda Accord) is part of two automobiles. The commercial was so well received by Honda when they saw it, that their first comment was how amazing the computer graphics were. They almost fell out of their chairs when told that the recording was real without any graphics manipulation.
This commercial has turned out to be the most displayed in the history of the Internet.
