I think it’s pretty cool..I doubt he would take the time to photoshop this video, just had the drives on hand..I could see it…

I actually LOVE it when people say it is photoshopped. The WHOLE REASON they say it is to annoy idiots like you who think they are actually serious. I laugh each time someone reuses the old worn out “Photoshopped!” call. It is kinda like “Thats what she said”

@T – im willing to guarantee that guy picked the two or three HDDs out of the water after he finished the video. Its like three feet deep. why leave sharp edged metal at the base of your own dock?

you’re dumb. real dumb, T.

It did look like there was a skipped frame or so. Could be it didn’t work and they doctored it just a bit, but still cool.

Yay for pollution and sinking a non-degradable object

To clarify, this is an older video made by one of the largest Xbox modding companies. These are all of the useless 8GB drives they replaced with larger modified drives.

FAKE! well at least having that as a continuous chain is. when the camera views change the lighting changes dramatically also. probaly 3 or 4 different set ups is my guess. still cool, but deceptive

Cool.. This gives me an idea for what to do with 500 cd’s ‘coasters’ I have lying about.

The sound of the drives make is great, it reminds me of something but I can’t quiet put my finger on it.

wow…not photoshoped else they photoshoped every single god damn frame witch i highly doubt, probably not 1500 HDDs it was done in multiple sections and thats probably just a crap load of really old or just plain crappy HDDs that the person bought because they are really bored and they have the money from whatever they do.

Ok… Dont’ get me wrong. I loved the video, and I don’t think it was altered with post-production stuff…

What I want to know is: Does Modding XBOX’s for 5 years give you the cash to buy a house like that?! If so, I have found my new profession!

Whatever idiot said it was photoshopped…seriously…
Photoshop does PHOTOs. This is a VIDEO.
At least say it was “After-effected” or something.
prat.

I hate it how people always say something is photoshopped. It seriously pisses me off. Why can’t something be real nowadays?

I quite liked that, thanks!
Assuming those were all at least 20GB (very likely) then that was… 30TB of hard drive space put in to dominoes!

Why not donate them to developing countries?
Why the need to throw the last HDDs into the lake?

He clearly doesn’t have 1500 HDD’s, the shot changes numerous times throughout, plus the time of day and shadows on the ground keep changing. I’d say he has about 250 HDD’s and just did 6 separate setups and linked them together in the video

This was photoshopped. I only counted 800 unique drives reused over and over. Sheesh. Please verify this crap before publishing.

I too love the sound. I thought it would never end. How did they get all of them up without at least starting the chain once before it was finished.

Anyone else love the sound? Amazing Vid, but the sound they make is immense…

Haha nice job but the chain definitely broke at 22 seconds and the dude had to restart it. still good though i guess.
