When I was a kid, me and my friends would sneak over to the train tracks near our house and tape pennies to the track, then we’d wait for a train to run over them and flatten them out. We thought we were pretty smart and we even considered trying to sell our compressed little masterpieces. This video is a commercial for a Norwegian company that plays off that childhood game, taking it to a clever extreme. I do wish I still had those pennies, they really were kinda cool.

Check out this video by student (and future filmmaker) Alex Hirsh, at the California Institute of Arts in Santa Clarita, very clever!

Got the Monday blahs? Watch this cute kid video, I guarantee you’ll smile:)
