Sick video, and clues on some of his editing techniques?

lots of work in after effects or shake :) Tons of rotoscoping by hand, frame by frame I would imagine.

The scene with the sofa is a hallenliftit effect.

You get a sofa. Then haul and lift it to the location. :-)

Some of the effects can be found at videocopilot.net.

Check out the one called "time freeze".

I agree with Cole. Lots of work in Shake or After Effects. I'm a Shake guy myself. The node-based compositing was intimidating at first but now I feel like I have more freedom than in After Effects. But back to the subject... Lots of work in shake or AE. The hardest part to me, it seems, would be getting the footage. Once I have the footage, I don't think I'd have that much of a problem pulling this off. I must admit, however, that it would take a while.

suprisingly using that tutorial that was posted from videocopilot, it did not take that long.

The footage i tested it with was not good for this effect but i got the general idea. I think i might have some better footage where the rider is going from left to right, instead of staying constant in the middle of the frame, like my test footage was. I will be messing around somemore with it tonight.
