Cog
This Honda commercial is proof that a product is only as good as the sum of its parts.
Costing the car company six million dollars, the brilliantly orchestrated commercial took three months and 606 takes to finish. Every tire and bolt seen in this ad is an actual part from a hand-built Accord--only 6 exist in the world.
Today, three years since the commercial originally aired in the UK,
it's still hard to believe that every precise action and visual
component is completely man-made!
According to an article in UK's Telegraph, when Honda executives viewed the ad for the first time, they were floored by the advanced computer-graphics used (or not used) in the ad.

Xbox Cops and Robbers
In a closed course-game of “good guys” and “bad guys”, every one has a chance to put on a badge or ski mask and wreak havoc. Weaving through traffic and jumping off buildings, at the end of round one… they switch? Is this what people did before the advent of 3D video games?
This made-for-TV game of hide-and-seek is nothing short of child’s play. Created for Microsoft's Xbox 360 “Jump In” campaign, this spot shows a group of adults playing a full-scale game of cops and robbers.
Kids, don’t try this at home.
