That was amazing. Galloping Gerty INDEED!

I wondered about the camera -- steadicam of some sort? bolted down? the camera operator has super human strength?

"Hey kids! That bridge is blowing out of control, it could fall at any minute - go run back and forth on it so I can get some photos..."

"CAR!" boingboingboingboing

Aren't they supposed to flex a little bit like that? It's when they get to oscillating that they get out of control and fall apart.

Whoa, at first I thought my LSD was still in effect.

Oofta.

Nope.

Either is right. I grew up with "oofta".

there are some weird non-wind visual effects going on in this movie

most noticeably at 0:58

So playing on a suspension bridge during a storm helps you perform the michael jackson "leaning forward" move?

It has become very clear that I do not understand the properties of concrete.

this video would be a whole different tone if in the first few seconds, if the idiot on the bridge had gotten blown over the edge

stupid kid stuff? yes

Yeah, they are. You definitely don't want resonance.

I think that's just the CCD trying to compensate on zoom.
