A great prank shows affection for the target, not hostility -- the idea that you'd spend so long on something just to make someone smile for a second. A team of Tufts University students created that kind of prank for dorm-mate "Beckylee," spending thirty-six man-hours to fill her room with seven hundred balloons -- every one of them blown up by breathing.
All this would have been wasted effort, except for the excellent time-lapse video they took of the preparation. The video might seem slow going at first, but it's well worth it as the first YouTube prank video to feature Thomas Crown style scene-splitting, nature documentary time-lapse, and even Rashomon-style multiple viewpoints of the prank itself. This may be the most cinematic stunt we've ever featured ... as well as the prank with the most hot air.
