Without going back and watching it again, I think I remember there were opportunities to restart sections if they didn't go right, and then resume the filming so that it looked seemless.

Something I like about that video - how beautifully quiet it is in there, except for the noises made by the Rube Goldberg devices.

Right now, I hear the whirring of my computer, the rushing of the air conditioner, the swoosh of traffic and the sound of two trucks backing up. (The city is repairing water lines.) One is beeping a high E and the other a high E-flat.

(Why? Why? They are a block away, yet they penetrate my house, my own background sounds, and my eardrums.)

They must have made that video in a secret bunker four stories underground.

Yes, Bill. I thought of that. But apparently it wasn't done just as a hobby, but with a tie-in to that 'Penny auction' firm, whatever it may be.

So presumably as a photography studio they were getting paid for their work.

And I don't suppose the time spent was much different from the time spent by sports fans, for example, watching sports.

Mercy! Just imagine how much time gone from the perpetrators lives! I'd love to know how many test runs it took to get it right.

It was clearly labelled 'fun' right in the thread title, Dave. You could have run the other way.
