The Honda Advert

Honda's New Advert for the Accord shows a collection of car bits connected together in a delicately balanced machine. Each component of the car triggers some movement in another, culminating in them rolling the new Accord in front of a banner. You can see the advert in its entirety here.

This type of machine reminds me of the TV classic Take Hart, where every week the mad inventor Wilf Lunn would construct an elaborate machine in the style of the Mouse Trap game.

According to a Daily Telegraph article, there is no trick photography or computer graphics, all of the kinetic reactions are real, and the advert took 606 takes before filming could be wrapped up.
