HEMA is a Dutch department store. The first store opened on November 4, 1926 in Amsterdam. Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands. HEMA also has stores in Belgium, Luxemburg, and Germany. In June of this year, HEMA was sold to British investment company Lion Capital.

Take a look at HEMA's product page. You can't order anything and it's in Dutch but just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens.

This company has a sense of humor and a great computer programmer.

The Honda car Spot had NO CG in it...all done the old way. I had a link to how they made it, can't find it now of course. But I think there were like 168 takes and the film crew were about to give up when BINGO it all worked.

That'a impressive if Honda pulled that off without computer manipulation. Some of those actions, like the tires rolling uphill every so slowly, appear fabricated.

The Honda "COG" - was (as Birdy said) done without any computer manipulation and was done in a continuous film shot (on like the 170th try) - the tires rolling "uphill" are because they are top-weighted. Watch again, they only make less than half a revolution.

Still Honda's "COG" is a VERY fascinating video.

A Rube Goldberg machine performs a simple task in a complex way.


You know; like using desmodromic valve actuation.
