They dismantled one of two prototypes of the Accord Estate to do this ad, but didn't tell Honda they were doing it. The Honda people were really pissed at first, until they saw the ad. Then they were just pissed.

Nope, you're 100% wrong - the wheel is eccentrically weighted - the wheel rolls uphill because the centre of gravity is right near the top of the wheel - in the half revolution it makes the centre of gravity actually moves downhill giving the appearance of gravity being reversed. The whell moves uphill but the centre of gravity moves down as the net result - if you can't get your head round how it works you have a v.poor understanding of mechanics.

Right, no special effects though - and the tyre "rolling up hill" is simple physics - the centre of gravity moves down - the tyre only appears to move up because its eccentrically weighted.

They do go up in a jerky motion? What's your point? They're weighted

It is not in one take. Its in two. They stop shooting at the point the exhaust rolls down, purposefully, but I know for fact they stopped at that point and treated it like two adverts joined together.

No, its all real. There are newspaper articles about it and everything. When the exhaust rolls off they cut, and start again, because it would've been too expensive to make.The tyres roll up because they are weighted.

That is amazing its completely real and they are all car parts. It's not animation. I wish I had the talent, patience, and dedication it took to do that. Completely fantastic. Rube Goldberg would be so proud to watch this amazing show.

supposedly it took like 600 tries to get it right

i'd flip if it was all set up then one thing went wrong

The 600 takes is an exaggeration, I've heard it was closer to 20. Still dedication.

there like a moving belt to go up? maybe?

The shoot is one continuous take - saw the 'making of' this ad and it was, hard to believe though it is, taken in a single shoot.The tyres were weighted at the top - while the whell appears to roll uphill they actually only make half a revolution with the centre of gravity moving down (the amount the wheel rolls up the slopr is less than the distance centre of gravity moves down.

If they had weights in them they would go up all jerky and not in a fluid motion

It's a fantaaasstiic advert, one of the best i've ever seen. It took them so long to do, around 600 takes lol, that's dedication! Love it.

I don't believe he said "don't comment", he just told you to learn some physics so you don't look like a complete idiot when you comment. Anyway, I give credit to the people who thought through everything going on in this advert. At least they have brains!
