Why post info not available???
Is it my computer, or is the video filmed with an extremely low frame rate?
I hear turbine noises, but the video is more like a slide show.
1 fps video. Can’t see anything interesting. Nothing appears to be moving except the cameraman.
And the high pitch noise is annoying.
If I video my car at 1 fps, add some engine noises, and then write in about my ether-powered car… will it get posted?
