I love that!  I was just reading his FAQ on his website the other day, and he said that to make the original, he moved to southeast Asia and just traveled til he ran out of money; then Stride gum started paying for him to go all over the world to make the newer ones.  They just send him by himself with a handheld camera, and a lot of times he gets a random stranger to film him.  That sounds like the best job ever to me.  And I don't know if this is true, but I heard that one of the founders of youtube or something had said it was their favorite video on you tube.
