I dunno.
It sounds somewhat cool.
I'll give it a look.
Could be cool during interesting weather or something.

Doubt it is HD, but it is interesting. Wonder if there is a soundtrack, and if so what?

No in SD, not in HD.
I have seen shots from the camera before, sometimes it looks very cool, other times not so good.Scott
