h/t to Alastair Irvine for the link, and Alicia Smith for getting me to hunt it down.

OK Go continue to produce the best goddamn music videos on the planet. I'm still trying to work out if the last scene is real or CGI (knowing these guys, it's real).

    If it's real what are they using for a camera? Quad copter?

    The last scene is probably the easiest ... just do a slow 360 on the drone.
    ... I guess you meant the "ticker tape" effect!?

    I admit it was not original to me. I think I got it, or very close to it, from an Iain Banks book called The Business

    I'd read (on CNN I think) that it was all real.  They filmed it at half speed and then played back at normal.  Took about 50 tries I believe.

    DJI S1000 but no specification on camera yet. S1000 can fly most anything.

Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery For this one I have one clear instruction before we begin. Pick up the cheese, step away from the cheese-board, and get thee to the kitchen. This is a cheese that needs - possibly even demands - some heat. Now I know the kitchen is a bit of a foreign place for the cheese-lover - I mean what use is there of fry-pans or cook-pots? Bear with me though, this journey is worth it. Before we begin, I'm going to take you on a small flight of fancy. Imagine, if you will, that an honest English Cheddar decided to take a holiday on the Continent, and found itself in Switzerland. Maybe seeking some great waterfall to encounter a perilous foe, it instead meets a sweet and charming Emmental. Romance blossoms, the Cheddar settles - foe forgotten, and the two have a child. Roll forward a dozen years and a few more, and this is Raclette. The bitter-edged teenager child - probably miffed that Cheddar failed to find and defeat that foe. Raclette is a cheese...
