They came out amazing! They print faster than anybody out there: http://rushtshirts.com Directed and Edited by Joe Penna: http://youtube.com/mysteryguitarman Art and Sounds by Billy Reid: http://youtube.com/verytasteful Watch Joe's Behind-The-Scenes Video (coming on Tuesday)! Watch Billy's Behind-The-Scenes Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WUx--QiSA8 TECHNICAL EXPLANATION FOR GEEKS LIKE US: We changed shirts over 100 times each, taking individual pictures of each unique shirt. The designs on the shirts are not photoshopped. They are real shirts for each frame of animation. The video was exported at 30fps, while the T-shirt animation moves at 6fps (with a few exceptions where it moves faster) So, for each shirt, we took 5 pictures, so the animation of us (Rhett&Link) moves at 30fps, but the T-shirt animations move a bit slower. There are a few places where the motion seems so smooth that it looks like video. That's because, in those parts, there was no changing in T-shirts, and Joe used burst mode to capture the frames, making it look very smooth. ------------------ Check out our other Youtube channel, where we upload random videos from our phones: http://youtube.com/rhettandlink2 ------------------- FOLLOW us on TWITTER!

Allure178

SOME people call Chayne Hultgren the Space Cowboy for good reason, the Byron Bay street peformer has dared to go where no man had before - swallowing 18 razor sharp swords. The professional sword swallower set the new Guinness World Record in Sydney today by swallowing all of the 72 centimetres long swords at the same time. The 31-year-old beat his own previous record of 17 swords, which he set in 2008. But for all those wannabe sword swallowers out there Mr Hultgren warned the stunt has taken years to perfect. "It's amazing," Mr Hultgren said. "I've been preparing for this since I was 16." "It is definitely one of my greatest achievements so far.'' Hultgren began practising the art of sword swallowing at the age of 16 when he swallowed his first hose. A few years later he upped the ante and began using stainless steel blades. Start of sidebar.

"It's educated risk,'' he said. "I don't just straight away grab 18 blades and shove them down my throat - you've got to practise a lot and build up to it. "So I stretch my throat with hoses and use a few different techniques to basically enable me to do what, until now, has been impossible.'' Hultgren beat his own previous record of swallowing 17 swords - also a Guinness World Record, which he set in 2008. He is the only person in the world to down more than 13 blades simultaneously, he said.
