It's a very cool idea to do that for real, but I really would have liked to have seen the stage without the shadow.

Actually, you've stumbled upon the trick of the illusion. Comment 22 outlines the scenario well.

There are insane-mountain-biker videos and then there are insane-mountain-bikers-with-too-much-time-on-their-hands videos.

I'll be honest: the music isn't my thing, and I stopped watching the music video about a minute in.

But that behind the scenes video was incredible! I'm always amazed by the patience some people have, because I would never be able to do that smile

Equally amazing is that they repackaged and sold all those jelly beans. True story.

Were they touching the cute girl? Did they make a profit?

I didn't say they sold them into the Japanese market... Though they'd make a killing in vending machines.

Cool! A nicely executed take on the Sledgehammer thing. I even like the song.

Disappointed that the "Making Of" video doesn't mention Sledgehammer though.

You're assuming they're even aware of the connection.

I believe that is a safe assumption to make. I cannot imagine that anyone who makes music videos could possibly be unaware of the Sledgehammer video. In fact, I cannot imagine anyone involved in filmmaking of any kind who would be unaware of the sledgehammer video. Like the Wikipedia article says, it's the most famous, most played, and most awarded music video ever made. A music video producer being unaware of Sledgehammer would be like a modern rock musician being unaware of The Beatles.

I'm sure they deliberately avoided mentioning it in the Making Of, possibly because they didn't want to step on any copyright toes.

I've worked with a lot of 'creative' media people, and more often than not, their knowledge of anything over 20 years old is pretty shocking. Especially the ones under 25!

Okay, that Hodgman video is hilarious. I've met him a couple of times at early before-he-was-famous Coulton gigs, nice guy, very funny.

I'm tweeting all of these videos, by the way. Figure the twitterverse should see them too.

Speaking of JoCo alumni, here's a clip that I found awesome this morning:

You guys need to watch Bored to Death. Hodgeman pretty much plays his "PC" role, but it works well.

Followup to the video from the club last year, their 2012 one released early.
