Cool Video: Suzuki Motorcycle Assembles Itself | Autopia | Wired

We’re always looking for new ways to kill time between trips to the water cooler here at Autopia, and this video delivers. It’s a cool stop-motion homage to Peter Gabriel’s video featuring a self-assembling Suzuki GSX-R with a parade of garage tools and man-toys. The five-minute video took roughly 30 hours of god-like patience of positioning, repositioning and shooting the parade of parts.
