yeah it is a cool effect, my daughter used to think they had a huuuuuuuge widescreen TV
on the tunnel walls



on a side note, came out of Farrugat North a couple of weeks ago and there was some
dude resting on the wall with a trash bag covering his upper body, took me a minute to figure out it wasn't real, still have no clue what it was trying to imply(artistic wise)

But that video's great, considering it was all hand drawn.

Not on any of the trains I ride (Red, Green, Orange, Blue, or Purple) They do have advertisements up in the terminals. But who on earth would go to the trouble of painting the subway walls between stops :confused:

Because it makes for some cool animation. Besides, havent you ever heard of large format printers?

It's just like hitting the pause button on the DVD player. The show will resume once the conductor hits the play lever (aka throttle).
