    Legends are made, not born. Razorfish aimed to prove the burger's legendary credentials by making it the star of an epic stunt in an amazing, one-of-a-kind feat that would make it a true cult hero. The stunt lives as a linear video on YouTube as well as an interactive video on McDonalds.co.uk, where you can direct your own cut by changing the camera angles and controlling the speed.
