Wow! Great film making. Its so... French!

Like the art shots of the dust and the use of jazzy piano music as counterpoint.

Really love the way they recorded the painfully raucous sound of the engine and then use it to drive the visuals. Great helicopter shot when he almost slides it off the edge. What's especially nice is how sparing the filmaker is in the use of bumper cam, helicopter and other change of perspective shots. He uses a nice balance of interesting camera angles while holding primary focus on the driver and the work he's doing. Just wonderful film making.

And the driving's not half-bad either! :-)

Thanks for posting it Doug!

too bad this version is encoded at such a low rate. If you don't mind a smaller image it looks much better viewed at 50% screen size.
