This Advertisement for the new Honda Accord was shot in real time with no CGI involved in the sequence. It required 606 takes and cost $6 million to shoot and took 3 months to complete.

ive seen this a while back, cool ****. The one thing that makes me doubt it is the wheels rolling UP a ramp with a mere snudge from another wheel.

.....The sequence where the tires roll up a slope looks particularly impressive but is very simple. Steiner says that there is a weight in each tire and when the tire is knocked, the weight is displaced and in an attempt to rebalance itself, the tire rolls up the slope
From the text under the movie.

To explain a little better, if you put a really heavy weight at the top of the tire rim, but balance the wheel, it will stay up top. The minute you nudge the wheel, the weight will roll to the bottom, and hence, push the tire uphill.

i was wondering about that too, but the weights do make sense.

i think its awesome how the windows that're just hanging there knock over the next object in line by just air movement? That took some serious time and effort!
