Fanboys of Fantastic Four are probably squealing with delight over this promotional video for the upcoming film.
In the clip, a flammable dummy is attached to a drone, lit on fire, and then flown through the air. The purpose of the effect was to make the fiery figure look like the Human Torch from Fantastic Four.
Viral video agency Thinkmodo came up with the idea for the promotion. Filmed at the Nassau County Fire Service Academy in New York, the flaming drone was operated under the watchful eyes of several local firefighters, just in case things got out of hand.
The Human Torch effect is cool, but I would’ve preferred a real-life version of Mister Fantastic. All of that goofy stretching would’ve been awesome to watch.
