It’sa me, Soichiro! Honda: The Power of Dreams is a new Italian animated short film about the life of Soichiro Honda, founder of the motorcycle and car company that bears his name.
It become obvious when his sketches come to life and operate magic assembly line robots that this isn’t necessarily a 100 percent accurate telling of young Honda-san’s life. To be perfectly honest we were completely lost during much of it though it’s beautifully drawn.
To watch it, go to writer/director Michele D’Auria’s website and click “Shortfilm.” You can see a behind the scenes video after the jump.
That was a really cool little video, got a little weird during the dream but was still awesome. Thanks for the link JNC!
I’m glad SOMEONE liked it! 🙂
I love this vid. Shows his passion for what he did well. I’m reading a book about the rise and “fall” of the modern Honda, interesting stuff.
Sounds interesting, but what fall? 🙂
What’s the book called?
Awesome animation… I LOVE it thank you my friend
Perhaps it’s this book?
The Honda Myth: The Genius and His Wake (written by Masaaki Sato)
