Hey Guys and Gals...
Just came home from a very long day at the Super Bowl compound... After shooting 2000 pictures in the last 24 hours and with at least that many more to come tomorrow... I needed to relax a bit and unwind. I mixed a very stiff drink and sat down at the computer... I caught up on some of the posts I missed this week.... and then started reading the some of the 2 million emails I am behind.... One of them was really really cool and I just had to share it.....

This is the weekend for great commercials on TV.
I don't know if this is one of them, but you guys should check it out.. It is way cool.
I know it is way off topic and if that bothers you, I am very sorry. However, I have a ton of friends on this board that I know will enjoy the thought and effort that went into designing and making this commercial. So, here is the email I found in my box that I just had to share with you guys...
enjoy it......


If you thought those people who set up a room full of dominoes just to
>knock them over were amazing . . . you ain't seen nothing yet! The filming
>of this video commercial for Honda took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes,
>something -- usually minor -- didn't work perfectly and they would have to
>set the whole thing up again. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day.
>By the time it was completed, the commercial cost six million dollars and
>took three months to complete, including the full engineering of the
>sequential actions. Also, the video is two minutes long so every time Honda
>airs it, they're really shelling out the dough. However, it is getting a
>tremendous number of "free viewings" on
>the Internet -- enough exposure value to pay for the whole project.
>Everything you see in the video (except the walls, floor, ramp and the
>completed Honda vehicle) are ac tual parts removed from two of only six
>existing hand-assembled Honda Accords. There are no camera tricks here, and
>no computer graphics were used. This is the real deal! Oh, you'll notice
>some weird-looking windshield wipers doing a funky dance. Those are real
>wipers, because on the new Accords, the windshields have built-in water
>sensors that automatically start the wipers when they get wet. Click on the
>hotlink below and be amazed.
