Guy 'Walks' Across America (VIDEO)

First Posted: 08/02/10 04:40 PM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 06:10 PM ET

This might be one of the coolest videos we've seen in awhile. The video, aptly called 'Guy Walks Across America', pieces together still photos taken on a 14-day cross country trip in an RV, according to ABC News.

"I don't think we ever saw it catching on this fast," director Sam Griffith told ABC. "We definitely knew we had something original [...] But you never know with these things."

The video was funded by Levi's jeans (which has product placement at the end of the clip). They producer Blake Heal told Davis that the project was funded by Levi's jeans, which make a prominent appearance at the end of the clip.

"We came up with this concept, and we didn't have the money to do it," producer Blake Heal said. "We looked for a sponsor, and we thought Levi's would be a good fit. So we pitched it to them, and they loved the idea."

Yeah, Levi's is a great fit to finance this production, regardless of the fact that Levi's recently outsourced production to Pakistan and Indonesia and pay seamstresses about 50 bucks a month. Yes, certainly a good fit... and I'm proud to be an American ..... {seriously, tip of the cap to the director and film staff, who also probably didn't make much)...

Walking across this great land is a wonderful thing, especially if you have a cause to support! Four brave students walked from Florida to Washington DC asking for immigration reform under the Dream Act! Let's hope their quest will come to fruition. A sponsor like Levi would be a great help! Do you think they would back the Dream Act?
