Going Viral with the Ultimate Boomerang
From the creative force behind Guy Catches Glasses with Face comes another one for the "How'd they do that?" file. This time, a promotional sign for a pizza place becomes a giant boomerang, whipping through a crowd of onlookers, up into the air, and around a lamppost before zipping back to Roto, the mad sign-spinning mastermind who launched it. Damn.
It's such a sick little piece of effects work and editing that it's actually even more impressive than the real stunt itself would have been. Plus, the entire thing is accompanied by music from the biggest, awesomest boombox EVER. Held by a guy wearing a tie. (Joe)
Extra bonus fun can be had here, where Roto defies gravity as breakdancing and editing come together, and Joe looks on impassively, completely unmoved by the entire spectacle.
