606 Takes To film Rube Goldberg-like car ad
wagdog writes "Many have no doubt seen the
Rube Goldberg-like multistep mechanical chain reaction
TV advert for the Honda Accord. Many thought this was yet another example of the pervasive use of computer graphics in TV commercials. Amazingly
the entire delicate set up of car parts that constitute the facinating sequence is almost 100% realtime live action
requiring an astounding 606 takes to get right
. There is one cheat however -- can you spot it?"
I am sure they put it up for people to actually view it. I just doubt they put it up thinking that 1000s of people would view it all at once. Maybe if you were putting up the site in order to get linked from slashdot. Then you wouldn't have an excuse. But I doubt that is the intention of a majority of these sites.
And killing a server certainly doesn't help the discussion of the article, as a majority of the posts that get modded up are jokes about the slashdotting. And then you have folks like us, who are participating in a meaninful discussion about slashdotting rather than the article we are posting under.
The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.
