Larry Page Arriving at Foo Camp 2007 via Helicopter

by Scott Beale on June 25, 2007 · 31 comments

Google co-founder Larry Page showed up at Foo Camp 2007 on Saturday afternoon via helicopter. I shot a few photos and a video of the scene.

While editing the Larry Page helicopter footage, I decided to have a little fun with it and cut a second version, working in a few “special guests” and some of the goofy sound effects that I found in iMovie.

Umm, so the MAKE guys flew in with the helicopter of Larry Page. Maybe you care to relate why exactly this is so interesting? Honestly, maybe I am missing something here.

I wonder what mileage Mr. Page gets on that thing.
