[FRIAM] YouTube - Extreme Sheep LED Art

[Hugh Trenchard]

I agree - while I suppose I could have been "had", it looks to me like it 
was genuinely darn good sheepherding using mounted lights on the back of 
sheep and simply accelerated footage (assuming that's the part that looked 
the least authentic).  At the least I agree it's not obvious that it is 
"90%" animation.
