This is an insanely creative video, i have not something like this in many years so i thought the creative minds at hn would like it. Maybe it will inspire someone to create something different, who knows?

Or else why do they keep cutting it?

It's just a series of small rube machines (aka luck pot shots) faked together?

The wood grains look pretty similar to me between shots.

Not to say the art of a fake movies is valueless, the masses and what they believe are funny to watch, but not up to HN standards about truth and hacking and engineering.
