We're always looking for new ways to kill time between trips to the water cooler here at Autopia, and this video delivers.
It's a cool stop-motion homage to Peter Gabriel’s Sledgehammer video featuring a self-assembling Suzuki GSX-R with a parade of garage tools and man-toys. The five-minute video took roughly 30 hours of god-like patience of positioning, repositioning and shooting the parade of parts. The guys behind the flick – identified only as "Noah" and "Noah's Dad" – say the bike started on the first try.
It’s amazing how throwback animation technology gets us geeked out in ways that the highest resolution big-screen renderings never could. If this were a commercial it would have surely found itself in our Top 10 ads of all time. So it begs the question, which auto manufacturer will copy-cat first? We're keeping fingers crossed for Tesla Motors or Fisker-Automotive.
