Man, this reminds me of the 405 short flick those two dudes did awhile back. Phuck, I should of never stopped learning 3D! Pretty impressive! What was it shot on?

That's the coolest and funniest thing I've ever seen on these forums. I screamed laughing.
The little wave the guy in the yellow plane gives as they pull ahead is what makes it... then it just builds from there.
If anybody reads this thread and doesn't click that link then they are idiots.

Just some info on this:
One of the "makers" of this short is Steffen Hacker (yes, that's his real name) who is quite well known in Germany in the low-budget-semipro-movie-stuff-community. The site www.hackermovies.com is made by him and Daniel Nolde. It's one - if not "the" - main German websites for independent film making. Steffen himself sometimes writes for German video-zines as well. Daniel Nolde was involved in RacingBeats too. IIRC he was the cutter.
The short was cut with Premiere Pro 1.5.
3D work was done with 3DSmax and AfterEffects as far as I know.
Two of the actors in this short are (in Germany) famous comedians. They're called "Badesalz" which would mean "Bath salt" in English. They are f...ing awesome.
regards,
Oli
