| How about putting them to sleep (bottle of whisky should do). Placing
them by hand on the car. Then start car up which wakens them and
the all fly away; thi sis of course filmed and then played in reverse
to make it look as though they are landing. There again they could
have trained them all :-)

| 1077.3 | butterfly valves? | MARVIN::RUSLING | MicroServer Phase V Session Control | Fri May 18 1990 12:55 | 4 |
| Back in my butterfly hunting days, the easiest way to attract them is to
smear some sugar solution somewhere and wait for them to settle. The love the
stuff. However, it makes them a little dopey (easy to pick off), so maybe
they didn't use that.

| Looking closely at the ad, the butterflies stationary on the car are cut-out
paper, and those moving are animated. The mass Exodus from the Honda (obviously
they suddenly realise what it is ;-) is animated too, I think.
But then maybe I'm wrong.

| Tony has it right in .2. They are a troupe of highly-trained stunt butterflys
who are incidentally now available to deliver butterflygrams in the Reading
area. I've got their phone number written down on a post-it pad - whoops, I
mistakenly wrote it on a large yellow butterfly which has just flown away.
Sorry.

| My guess is that they are real butterflies, a sight cheaper than
imitations, and that the way it's worked is to release them into
a cold room with a warm car in it.

| 1077.7 | All wrong ! | CURRNT::ROWELLW | I'd trade places with Dan Ackroyd ! | Fri May 18 1990 16:27 | 4 |
| Nope, they are
Teenage Mutant Ninja Butterflies, doing advertisements in their
spare time . ;-)

| Thay are, in fact, computer graphics. Very clever indeed but only
just noticable. Probably drawn or scanned into Harry (as it is
known in the TV/Commercial Art business. Its a
paintbox/animator/very_powerful_tool_indeed ) and set into motion
using the said tool. Using real butterflies would have been next
to impossible.
It's amazing what these metal boxes with chips can do nowadays.

Yup, .-1 has it !
They're a figleaf of the graphic designer's imagination existing
only as bits in an animation workstation, apart from
one or two close-ups.
Somebody must have had a great time doing all that lot, and probably
used a lot of CPU time, too.
Confirmed with a lot of patience, a friend's expensive freeze frame
and a magnifying glass. (and a headache !)
