Dude, that's the coolest thing I have seen today!!!! Kudos to you good buddy!!!

Any clue how to save it then reformat it into a mpg because my computer does not have the software to play it by itself and I wan to keep that one.

They got way to much time on their hands, but the finished product was great! I wonder how long it took them to finish? For a wagon it's pretty sweet. :bling:

Must have been like 20 error's before they got everything placed right. Wheoever thought of that one earned their pay in my book!!!

I found the answer to my question

Lights! Camera! Retake!
Filming was done over four near-sleepless days in a Paris studio, after one month of script approval, two months of concept drawings and a further four months of development and testing. One of the more surprising things about the ad is that it was not a cheat. Although it would have been much easier to fiddle the chain of events by using computer graphics, the seesaw and shunt of events really did happen, and in one, clean take.

And El you could try to e-mail the picture to yourself and just keep in your inbox. It’s not the same as your computer but you will always have access to it.

I was hoping to keep the video itself and I'm not going to buy another player just to play that document. I have found over the years of surfing the net that good things like that don't stay online too long because they take up space that could be used for something new and not improved. I still wish the "titties and beer" video was still online but it's not.

Cool find RobH. That is impressive. Kinda reminds me of my Rube Goldberg project I did in high school.

thats cool I dont see how they didnt use special effects ether Rob because some of those things were kinda rolling to long like that muffler it should have like rolled twice.

The tires were probaly very unbalenced, like filled with cement. I've discussed this on other forums.

That's the only unbelievable part of the whole mousetrap. I had found out that the tires were heavily weighted just an RCH forward of top dead center.

Okay, this is an edit. Taking into consideration the incline of the plane it was probably a few RCH's.
