Really an amazing commercial. Worth watching.
You will probably watch it a second time.

If you thought that the people who set up a room full
of dominoes to have them knocked over later was
amazing, you haven't seen anything yet. 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 recording cost
6 million dollars and it took 3 months to finish, including
the engineering design of the sequence. The duration of the
video is only 2 minutes, but every time that Honda shows the commercial on British Television, they make enough money to support any of us for the rest of our lives.
However, this commercial has turned out to be the most
displayed in the history of the Internet. Honda execs think that it will pay for itself simply because of the free showings.
When Honda senior execs viewed it, they immediately approved it without hesitation - including costs. Everything you see in the sequence (besides the walls, floor, ramp and untouched Honda Accord) is part of two automobiles.
The voice is that of Garrison Keiller.
The commercial was so well received by Honda execs 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.
By the way, about the windshield wipers; in the new Honda
Accords they are sensitive to water and designed to start
working as soon as they get wet.
