This is SO AWESOME. Thank you so much for putting in so much time to write all this up! I love this post, and I'm going to be returning to this again and again as I'm vidding, and rewatch Handlebars some more to see How They Did That.

I just had to rewatch, and oh, the cutting on "movers, shakers and producers" and "these are the strings that control the system" never fails to make me go Ooooo. I'm so glad you didn't take out the clockwork men!
