"Droga5 and production company Smuggler created another viral video hit, this time for Activision and it's game Guitar Hero World Tour. Ostensibly, it shows a teenage kid paying homage to the game by recreating it on the streets of his home town. Speculation abounded as to whether the film was really pulled off by kids.
