19 skydivers will have three minutes and 20 seconds to spell out the word Honda, inspired by the car manufacturer's new advertising strapline: "Difficult is worth doing".Organisers were yesterday hoping the weather in Spain would hold as the team practised. "There will be no time delay and no CGI [computer-generated imagery]. If it works, people will know who it's for. If it doesn't, they won't," said Ian Armstrong, Honda's manager of customer communications.The stunt is a means of gaining publicity for Honda's new multi-million pound ad campaign, which features 45 skydivers promoting the Honda Accord by creating a series of shapes over the Mojave desert to reflect new features on the car.

The director posted on the Guardian website about how it was done. They used the OB truck that is used for ITV F1, and it was driven from Monaco where it was used for the previous race to Madrid for this. Also, camera antennas were on the skydivers legs pointing straight down plus switching relays in the plane. All that is left is having an audio mixer on the ground to make sure that the right mic is faded up when the camera cuts. All very very impressive.

The amazing part is the logistics of doing a live commercial. Just the timing and cameras, and getting the airtime right.
