Behind The Scenes: Smash Wall

from Indy Mogul on Vimeo. Here it is; no, not a clear cut case of gorilla rage, but the behind the scenes footage of the Smash Wall effect. Watch, as another one bites the dust (or baby powder if you watch closely enough), it is sure to make you laugh, or at least chuckle awkwardly later on while you're sitting in a half-empty train.
