The internet is becoming ripe with production teams trying to outdo each other with amazing copter-camera rig videos. This one might take the cake.

Pre-eminent funnyman and noted technology appreciator Louis C.K. wears many hats on his show Louie. Hear his thoughts on shooting with a RED camera and editing on his MacBook Pro.
