i love it! hehe
that was amazing how they did it, i got this in an e-mail as well along with a note that says....
You gotta watch this... but read the following before going to the link.
Not sure if you've all seen it yet or not, but an unbelievable ad. Have a
read below and then click on the link at the bottom. New Honda commercial
in the UK. Very important that you understand: There are NO computer
graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see really happened
in real time exactly as you see it. The film took 606 takes. On the first
605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have
to set the whole thing. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the
time it was over, they were ready to
change professions. The film cost six million dollars and took three months
to complete including full engineering of the sequence. In addition, it's
two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television,
they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us in clover for a
lifetime. However, it is fast becoming the most downloaded advertisement in
Internet history. Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself
simply in "free" viewings (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this
commercial!).
When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it
immediately without any hesitation * including the costs. There are six and
only six hand-made Accords in the world. To the horror of Honda engineers,
the filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the film. Everything you see
in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp, and complete Honda Accord)
are parts from those two cars. The voiceover is Garrison Keillor. When the
ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing
computer graphics have gotten. They fell off their chairs when they found
out it was for real. Oh, and about those funky windshield wipers. On the new
Accords, the windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start
doing their thing automatically as soon as they become wet. It looks a bit
weird in the commercial.

If you watch them closer, they are weighted... When at rest, the weight is at the top of the tire, when the first one is bumped, it's enough to tip the wheel enough so that it's unbalanced, and the weight provides enough force to roll the wheel uphill slightly.
