Alaskan prefers highly frequent welding. Maybe it is the cold climate.......

I'm not sure they'd make it. Maybe the guy in the back should change seats with the guy in the yellow shirt. He obviously needs something to do, and then Yellow Shirt can ham things up all he likes, and not risk people's lives by taking his eyes off the road so much!

(I'm sorry, but I drive in a town with the highest rate of traffic accidents in the state. The most notorious road of them all passes a quarter mile from my house. I want to get a bumper sticker made that will read, "Pray for me, I drive on Market Street!")

It is ok! They look like passengers. I do think it might distract the driver but at least the driver is not hamming in up.

I dunno, Ron. Watch his eyes - he's scanning, scanning, turns his head and the scenery behind them swings shortly afterward. That looks like he's driving to me; granted, I don't see his right hand come up when they turn.

Look at the other Guy, he is doing that too.

In my imagination, Mom is up front in a Frozen costume driving them while Sister is filming them.

It looks like an SUV or Min Van.

Quote: I see the behavior of two people in the front seat, with a windshield to look through in front of them, rather than the backs of the front seats to look around (looks like that's what is reflecting in their eyes, too). The camera (phone?) is too steady to be hand-held; I believe it is mounted/sitting on the dashboard.

And really - what mother wouldn't kill that clown in the back seat for putting his feet on the roof?!!

You guys, check out the car..like someone else said in another thread, the car looks like rubber. Ha, it's not moving. They have a screen or something behind them. I think it's ok for the driver to take his eyes off of the road..what road?

What's funny is, I am finding that so many people will take apart a video. he he..probably do the same with movies. Like me! Just last night, in a movie made back in the 70's, supposed to be early western days before cars planes and automobiles, I saw, right there in the blue blue sky, a jet stream. Had to point it out to my DH. lol...and, I notice shadows on backgrounds where it's supposed to be a mountain and hills in the distance. We just didn't notice those kinds of things back in the day..at least I didn't. I was too young to care I guess. I was pretty young with the black and white movies. Shadows, everywhere..now I notice.

Professional movie makers put a lot of time and effort into trying to make things fit the story they want to tell. On a sounds stage it's easier, but they can get very creative with things like camera angles and the placement of props to keep things they don't want out of the shot (and of course, there's always CG, but that's expensive). But once in a while they slip up, and you get things like high-voltage power lines marching across the background in a Western that supposedly depicts a time before the telegraph even got there . . .

It's something that Mel Brooks has gotten a lot of mileage out of. I've seen the "that doesn't belong in this story" type of gag in several of his movies. I hear doing it deliberately is called "breaking the fourth wall" - making it clear that you know that you are telling a story, rather than living it.
