Nice job guys, tho i doubt it will be mistaken for real...because that would be some seriously tough to master shots if you´d try to shoot it for real :P

Love the concept and good work there!

@lookdown : he IS in Australia

Thorsten

clarification: i only meant the stills at the top, if broadcast, would fool most people i know. the car coming together would probably be somewhat suspect. anyhow, top work. i was on the rtt site trying to understand deltagen but i still don't get it... however it works, you guys kick a**

regards,
rodder
