Dancing Excavators......

Anonymous Poster · Feb 18, 2003

Did anyone see the three choreographed dancing excavators on 20/20. It's a four minute film and really highlighted the precise movements the operators can do with these machines....all put to music. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif It was entertaining to say the least.

I thought it was great... further down this page in "a fun little film" there's a link to some footage of the film.

Where is the link to the film?

I posted about the film, a few days ago A fun little film

The film itself "A Pritty Big Dig" is not available online. A web search for the film and the film's director Anne Troake shows that the film has been shown several film festivals of dance films. I would be interested in finding a web site with the film or even a vender selling the actual film on DVD, but I have not able to find a source for the film

The ABC news 20/20 report is not online either but most of the ABC report was edited from a 'making of' film which is available online (in Quicktime format).
