Video: Artist creates terrifying plane crash in Photoshop




THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER 

 OK, we're sold; geeks are heroic.

We're sold because one of the most exciting videos we've seen in a long time happens to be this one, which depicts computer geekdom (plus artistic wizardry) in full flower.

Specifically, it's an image-by-image recreation of the PhotoShopping (yup, it's a verb) of a commercial jet crashing on what looks suspiciously like Pacific Coast Highway.

And it's riveting. The music thumps. The rhythm of images being chosen is frenetic but also arresting. The final product is eye-grabbing; at once scary and beautiful and, in its own way, authentic.

Thankfully it's all made up.
