MECHANIZER TEST FOOTAGE

I certainly not to detract any attention away from John Polonia's passing, but I do want to share this clip that fellow Polonia actor Jon McBride posted online. It's test footage for a film that for one reason or another never got made.

What is truly amazing about these few seconds of test footage is that the whole thing is done with a toy tank and the magic of forced perspective. No cgi, no set extensions, not even a matte job. This is all done in camera. Brilliant!
