Yeah, that and dropping pieces into a plastic bag (at least it appeared that it happened - maybe the force is strong in this one?). Plus who knows exactly what pieces they need in advance :)

Okay, nice. Does the SX210 have control in camera or have you used some other firmware hack? Over the years I've used Canon PowerShot S45 (silver), S80 (black), S90 (black) and 30D (not sure what they are called in your country). The S45 and S80 had to be tethered to a PC (because the S45 Intervalometer ability was hopelessly limited) but for the S90 I use CHKD and the 30D I use an electronic timed remote. I'm tempted to start using a GoPro but I'm not sure I care for the expense but the native video ability is potentially handy too.

We just recorded it as a normal video, then edited it with Sony Vegas to play it in reverse.
