He also made a video about an engine with a see through top, quite a while back. Very cool to watch. https://youtu.be/xflY5uS-nnw

For the record I did not make the engine. That was done by a guy name Everett in New Jersey. He has a channel called 805 Road King. I just worked with him to visualize it. Everett is a really nice man.

Hey that's me! Howdy. When I decided to try this shot I reached out to my buddies Juho and Nico at Kamerastore in Finland and asked them for recommendations. Nico from Kamerastore made me a secret video. They flipped the secret video live after I posted the video. It's here. I bought the gear from them and he shipped it to me. I had one day to practice with Dr. Telepun. Metering was the hard part. Dr. Telepun wrote a book that explains how to get this shot. I shot it on Ektachrome 100 slide film. This was basically the result of me, Nico, and Dr. Telepun putting our minds together to make it happen. Fun fact that I haven't told anyone until now... there's a metal print of this photo hanging in the Kodak factory!
