Honda Commercial (拍攝四天四夜六百零六次才成功)
根據資料本廣告一共拍攝六百零五次,沒有使用任何電腦繪圖輔助,花了四天四夜的 時間在巴黎一個工作室拍攝而成。 東京總部的高階主管們第一次看到這段廣告的反應是:很好啊~很聰明,現代的電腦技術真是不錯。當他們知道這全是真的的時候,他們嚇呆了。 世界上共有六台量產前的New Accord,這部廣告用了兩台。其中一台拆成了零件─廣告用的完全都是真的車裡的零件,因為在經過無數次的失敗以後,他們卯起來要拍出最真實的影片。 工作人員已經拍得快發瘋了,最後有些人因為連續工作幾天必須被"請"到旁邊休其他人也打起賭來猜那一段會出錯。 (Honda New Accord的自動感應水的雨刷贏最多次~~@@),終於成功的第606次拍攝,結束時現場鴉雀無聲,然後爆出了熱烈的歡呼和掌聲,以及四濺的香檳。 這個遊戲值多少錢? 如果你算那輛車---約八十萬台幣,或如果你算整個行銷計劃---約三億台幣。其中一段是單一個吊著的雨刷在空中旋轉移動,拍成功的那次是那一段唯一成功的一次。 輪胎裡放的是鏍絲和鏍帽,平衡之精細,連攝影組員走動時都得小心翼翼。常常一個大一點的動作或是不小心輕推一下什麼,就得重覆好幾小時的工作。 當這部廣告片拍到三、四百,甚至第五百多次時,廣告片的製作人開始稱呼這些零件為「our friends,the parts」---(零件,我們的朋友們)。更有一些組員幾天沒睡後,被其他人要求離較精細的部份遠一點。

"A Day in the Life of Africa"
"A Day in the Life of Africa" was held on February 28, 2002 with nearly 100 photographers from 26 countries around the world using the 53 countries of the African continent as the backdrop.
Interesting to note that these photographers all used the Olympus E20 which at the time (2002) was the top digicam made by Olympus, with only 5MPs and a tiny 2/3 " CCD, this camera is considered an "antique" in today's technology. Just another proof that it's not the camera but rather the photographer behind the camera that really counts. I also had the E10 and E20 for awhile and really enjoyed using these fine machines!
Take your time and enjoy this fantastic set of images of Africa!
