Update on the Honda Rube Goldberg Ad

A year ago, one of the most creative commercials I've ever seen hit the 'net. I won't get into the details for those who haven't seen it (just download it here), but rumors ran rampant that the commercial was computer generated, took 600+ takes, etc... . A Wieden and Kennedy employee (W&K made the ad) put the rumors to rest in his comment on this article (scroll to the very bottom). Link via Waxy.

That's lame, since that commercial was a direct ripoff of a video installation of a bunch of objects that DOES actually work. I forget the artist who actually did it.
