To all the people wondering why they didn't use the real version of Atlas: look up the lyrics. I'm pretty sure Honda doesn't want bad press for mysogony
i was on a battles atlas song video and i saw comments about how honda fucked up the song with a commercial, i wanted to see what they men't, and well, now im here, and now i know they were right.
It may look simple but its a massive task.Shoot the same pics of different vehicles an identical way. Wow! I am in awe over the idea and the execution of it. Sums up what Honda does and how the feel about it. The technics, brains and emotion.
What would a good product be without them. I tip my hat and salute you both Wieden and Kennedy and Honda.
A visual treat. And people are agreeing (see: carz/.com) But I'm not sure this exactly translates to the quality of Honda Civic. Is it really that much classy? Or is it classy enough?
@CarsMakeLove Well actually its quite clever about that. This receent advertising campaign theyve been doing in Britain rarely focuses on an idividual car instead advertising the company itself. That way they can get around some niggling OffCom rules about not advertising a car by showing it driving too fast, as they aren't actually advertising any individual car (Even though its blatantly the civic that gets the main focus lol)
and also, this song was phenomenal way before little big planet was around. if you heard of it from there, great, but give credit to the band, not the game.
I first saw this ad in the cinema, I went mental. I love the song ~(LBP ftw!) and we have a honda civic. ( the whitey/ purple colour one) <3 Gotta love civics !!
The music is by a band called Battles. The song is called Atlas and can be found on an album called Mirror. Battles come from New York and appear on Warp Records based in Gospel Oak nr Camden. Warp promote Electronica music, but have previously managed Maximo Park and still have Jamie Liddell. Jamie Liddell is really worth listening too alongside Battles. Try Another Day from Jamie's album 'Jim'
Not crazy about the music choice myself. A little too stop - go - stop - go for the ad. Good song apart from this... but didn't flow with the video in my opinion.
