Our brother George Drago always sends me interesting stuff; here's another example for you to see....
Can you just imagine the red tape, permits and cost to pull off this
commercial?
This is very cool.
Here's a link to a Shell commercial shown in Europe.
Ostensibly, they're selling gasoline, but the cars used in the video
steal the show.
Ferrari pulled several of their race cars from various ages out of
storage,
flew them around the world and filmed them running through the streets
of Rome, Rio, New York, Hong Kong, Honolulu and Monaco.
No computer graphics, these are the original cars on the original
streets.
The best part is the sound from the basso-profundo notes of the early,
front-engine era, each scene cuts to a later generation, ending with the
wail of a modern F1 car.
The sounds alone bring a tear to the eye.
Even if you're not a gear head, this video will stir the soul.
There's just something about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM!
