    Granted, I don't get sound on this so they might say, but isn't it 3 people and not 4?

    AFAIK the D in D-Day was the date.

    The landings were planned out in great detail, the only thing the couldn't determine was the date and time it would happen as it was weather dependant. The time varied too as when the date varied then tides varied, very important for an amphibious landing. So this elusive date and time was referred to as H-Hour on D-Day. Simple really.

    No it doesn't. It just stands for 'D'. D-Day, H-Hour.

    Well, it says that it's 3 graphic designers, and there doesn't seem to be anyone controlling the camera when the 3 are on screen, They just hit record and go down to the beech. But that's just getting pedantic :D
