Neat, but...

Post #105,729 by Another Scott 6/11/03 2:33:57 PM Reply	Neat, but... Like DeS I was thinking it had to be fake. E.g. the tires rolling up the ramp, the exhaust pipe rotating balanced on the spring, etc. But it seems it really isn't. They just pulled tricks like weighting the wheels to make them roll up hill. Whether there wasn't some other trickery involved, I can't say. [link\|http://www.dailytelegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2003/04/13/nhonda13.xml\|Daily Telegraph] story on it.

Here is a dossier: [link\|http://www.softimage.com/Community/Xsi/Mag/Cs/VOLUME_3/Issue_1/4.htm\|http://www.softimage...E_3/Issue_1/4.htm] "The Mill had 600 individually quaffed bison running through Los Angeles and each at its own pace."

Remember "Car on a Museum Wall" from Honda? More SFX. I'd say the circumstantial evidence for CGI is overwhelming. -drl

This is not the first time a camera has to move next to something reflecting. -- Less Is More. In my book, About Face, I introduce over 50 powerful design axioms. This is one of them. --Alan Cooper.
