This is a great ad, and I read that there is no trickery here:
everyting is what it appears to be. Guess the voice at the end.

***This is quite neat, but it's hard for me to believe that it was
all done in "real time..." Maybe so, but I'm a doubter...

Ah - something about the recording,
maybe the way his voice is recorded
that threw me off.

Maybe the sounds were dubbed, but it looks real to me.

Unfortunately I did not save the website that described the shoot. I
think it was in a British newspaper. The article said it took 606
takes before they got it, and that the culprit was almost always the
walking wipers. I will post the article if I see it again.
