Cool Car Ad

Not sure if it has been posted before. But anyway, it's pretty cool. No computer animation, all real car parts and motion. Supposely it took over 600 times for the entire seqence to work.

There is no way they did not use computer animation, just watch the wheels roll up the ramp and then stop at the top.

i don't care how many times i have heard people say that its all real motion and whatnot, its not, its impossible to tap a wheel and have it roll uphill and then have that one tap another and then have it roll uphill and then after it rolls up it doesn't roll back down.
the rest of it is believable, but they should have left that part out to keep it realistic

nope... all real... if I remember.. the wheels rolled up hill because they were filled with piles of ball bearings... so when it tipped over, it caused the wheels to roll up wards...

is it the honda advent or something like that commercial (it's not working for me so i'm guessing). And yes, they put weights in the wheels from the car so that it would be able to roll up a ramp as soon as it got to a certain point. So yeah, it is completely real
