But first, let me just say that we have some budding filmmakers in our Oregon high schools. The videos run the gamut from zany and gory to downright Lynchian. A handful of videos include some quite impressive special effects - I'm still trying to figure out how they launched this guy into the air. Oh, and one group smashed a TV.
