The link to a Honda commercial is at the bottom of this page...

But before you view it... read the following: (Am not sure how true all

this is... but the ad is pretty cool lookin anyway :-) )

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 up again.

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 Honda 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.

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).
