It's amazing what you can do with tilt-shift these days, it looks so much like a model!
Brilliant
Excellent production and good use of the GoPro cams too..
Did I see a giant Land Rover drive by towards the end?
Blocked here?
Hum. My company's web-washer (FortiGuard) has blocked that as "other adult materials". What else lives on that server? And any reason it's not been put on YouTube?

I salute your comic genius.
Is it not time there was an Oscar for work like this?
That was the funniest thing since
grandma caught her left tit in the mangle!
Somewhat less graceful and heart stopping than the real version!

SPB strikes again. This is a classic.
Much better than the real thing.
Outstanding
Makes me wonder what Gerry Anderson and the SuperMarionation team could do.

Hmmm....
Are you sure that was over Holland? The advert at the end if for a Model event in Vienna, and the flag on the retrieval buggy was decidedly Austrian.
Re: Hmmm....
Not conclusive I know but the view from the balloon suggests a very flat country, no sign of mountains or singing nuns so probably Holland not Austria.
P.S. Austrian jumper, Austrian flag?
Re: Hmmm....
True, but I think it needs clogs, tulips and a few windmills to be conclusive.
