The Die Hard Cargon Commercial
We all know DieHard batteries are tough. But you need more than just a clear name and a promise to prove your worth in this world, so DieHard recently decided to create a series of videos showing just how much their batteries could take.
To design the perfect real-world experiment, DieHard hired advertising agency Y&R Chicago to work with Director James Frost to build an organ using 24 black and white cars. The cars were all started off of one battery and were able to have their lights and tweaked horns controlled by a keyboard. Finally, when they needed a technical team to actually build the project, James came to Syyn Labs - with whom he'd previously launched the OK go RGM viral video.
After days and nights in the Mojave desert, the construction was complete. But of course just building an car organ, or 'cargan' was not enough... so they got 80s pop-icon Gary Numan flown in to play his hit 'Cars'... on cars.
We're happy to present "Die Hard Battery vs. Gary Numan":
And here is the making of video:
