Watched 30 seconds. Looked pretty sweet. Long ass song!

It's fake you can clearly see the strings.

Fake, you can totally see the strings


/actually curious how the strings never crossed though

That was remarkably cool. I wonder why the bass was so distorted, though.

Choreography was better during the slower first half of the song, the rest looked kind of random to me.

How the FARK did those things not get all tangled up?

Never been fishing on a party boat I see.

My thoughts too. I lost interest and I used to have a kite like that.

Two ways; the choreography is set as an optical illusion. It is supposed to be seen from the side, where the camera was, as opposed to head on. And you'll notice they never go around in a complete circle more than once, always circling back.

/The orange kite sucked compared to the rest and it was dead center.

You're gonna get some Freddie Mercury fan all spammy.

A combination of reversing actions and the humans moving around eachother, probably.

Jaw on the farking floor. I can't comprehend how nothing got tangled. The precision was amazing too.

Was it wrong of me hoping that the strings would get tangled?

If you've never flown a stunt kite, you should. It's nothing like the $2 plastic kites you bought at toys r us as a kid. They are graphite spars, fabric, and the strings are super thin and light (and can withstand lots of abrasion from both strings crossing each other). I'm nowhere that good where I can fully control the direction (though they ARE using 4-string kites with a strong constant wind), but it is amazing when you do like 20 spins in one direction, and you still have full control of it.

I had a stunt kite once.

Fun and cool... but after 20 minutes you're bored.

You can only do so many turns and loops and dives.
