It is all 100% do able! And it was really done for the commercial. I met a guy who helped with the setup of it and he said it was all pretty easy to do with patience.

The tires were seriously weighted!


ANd Jester, that comm. is a few years old. (or at least they had the same thing for a different car..!?!)

Re: Anyone ever seen this before? Very Cool old commercial

Yes I know its quite a few years old, I saved it on my computer long time ago for how neat it was. It was for the original Accord and aired during the SuperBowl, (Imagine how expensive a 2min commercial during a superbowl was :O).

And it is all completely 100% real, it took the team that shot it over 600 tries to finally get everything to work properly. The only CGI used was for lighting and to slow down some frames. Cog (television commercial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

Figured Id post it cuz I knew that alot of people had probably forgotten or never seen it. Always neat to bring stuff like this back.

Take some tires and put some heavy weights to one side facing uphill so it balances, then give it a tip, and watch it roll up hill. Very neat how they made it all work .

Don't give West any crap. I think everyone should take a long break from posting in the forums, and upon their return post up old content for discussion

Moved to off-topic.
