It's not real... it turned out to be an artist/animator who was trying "online storytelling" about a guy who who had the motivation to actually fly, because who wouldn't want to?

That ain't art, it's a lie to generate interest.

Interesting. Come to think of it, the helmet cam airborne video did not match the ground camera indications.

Haha, the "take-off" part was pretty hilarious, but probably because I went into it with the pre-conceived idea it was a fake.

It is sort of funny when you look at the brief bit that explains the equipment, and that they used "wii-remotes" as accelerometers.
