Honda gets handsy again with stop-motion epic

While everyone’s automotive attention is currently on the sneaky emissions-dodging Germans, Honda continues to pump out the advertising gems and, following in the footsteps of the classic Rube Goldberg effort Cog, the attention-grabbing Hands, the very clever The Other Side and the mind-hacking Keep Up, it’s weaved together around 3,000 hand-drawn images and used the power of stop motion to show 60 years of innovation. 

The ad is a continuation of its Power of Dreams campaign. And, as Creativity said: “Images include references to founder Soichiro Honda’s use of a radio generator to power his wife’s bike, Honda’s motorcycle development and multiple shots of cars past and present, including the new 2016 Pilot vehicle.”

RPA was behind the ad and it was shot by stop-motion artist Pes, who also made the award-winning, Academy Award-nominated short film Fresh Guacamole. 

And here’s the latest effort, Submarine Sandwich.
