600+ Takes

Pack Rat hangs out with Melissa and Aaron in The ‘Bu. But not Brett. Because you can’t trust a ninja.

Well, I don’t know why I’m surprised anymore when I find out there is an on-going, heated debate about anything on the Internet any more. I came across this older ad for the Honda Accord and fell in love with the art and precision of it’s production. Word on the street is that everything in the video is real, with all of the objects reacting according to the laws of physics or some junk. Doubting Thomas’s abound, however, and some get rather nasty about insisting that it must be done with CGI. I certainly don’t have any answers, but because I’m an optimist and a romantic, I’m going to believe the rumor that the shot took over 600 takes to acheive and that the shot in the commercial was the last one (the director was ready to quit if it didn’t work that final time).
