Anybody else wonder how they film the IHOP pancake ad with the what looks like a full-sized...

airliner that taxis into an IHOP parking lot, knocking a couple of cars aside, plus a light pole, and pulls up to the front entrance?

That is pretty funny. CGI I would think? CurtEastPoint Jan 2018 #1

Pls explain. The lot, the cars and the plane seem all to scale. Is there minimalization? brush Jan 2018 #3

First, I doubt IHOP would have the money to spend on good CGI — and it’s not even close to good. Look at the way the plane and cars bounce around. But the light pole is the biggest giveaway; it just falls over, it’s not even anchored to the pavement. They’re all just miniatures. I don’t even think it’s stop-motion animation.
