Honda Accord – “Cog”
In case you haven’t heard about it or seen it, Honda has a new commercial out for the new Accord. Lucky for us, it’s not the typical “drive down a nearly empty highway and look at the scenery” type car commercial. No, this commercial is destined to go down in the books alongside such classics as Apple’s “1984/Big Brother” commercial.
Honda’s commercial (titled “Cog") is essentially a continuous 2 minute shot of a Rube Goldberg type machine made out of Accord parts. No CG, no trick photography or camera work. It really happened. Well, after 606 takes, that is…
So, make sure you have QuickTime installed, crank up your sound, and go watch the commercial video linked above. You’ll be glad you did.
