Stencils and Reverse Graffiti (Video)

Found out about this video a while ago and chose not to watch it because it was a product-corporate sponsored piece. Since then, at least three people on my travels have asked me if I knew about this video. So I watched it tonight and must admit that Moose's work is pretty damn interesting. So here it is for all who haven't seen it yet to enjoy.
