>> good morning, guys. how are you?

>> good morning to both of you.

>> we're good.

>> are you a filmmaker by trade.

>> yeah.

>> how does this idea come to you?

>> well, it's an easy idea. it's the kind of idea that i think everybody can have and probably the last one that did have the idea so i can do it and that's why i came up with this.

>> you can do it because you know special effects , let's be honest. just about everything in here other than maybe that shot of him sitting there was done through special effects . how hard was that?

>> it's a pretty long process. in fact, the way i did it is that i started by designing costumes. small ones and large ones, and then i shot two stunt men fighting doing the kung fu moves and shot my kid like right now, and i took the shoulders and the head and slide it over the guy.

>> lots of editing.

>> you needed romeo's position so he could be in the right position.

>> endless.

>> how long does something like this take?

>> would i say two months, yeah, because i didn't have a big team. i did pretty much by myself. a good friend of mine did the costumes, and --

>> uh-oh.

>> you know --

>> now you did one with your daughter and went viral as well, marguerite, 16 million hits. this one has over 20 million hits. does that surprise you?

>> i'm not suspecting 20 million in a week. i knew that this viral video that we did two years ago, i did it with a good friend of mine. when we were working on it, we knew that it would go viral because "iron man" was a big thing.

>> can i borrow you to make a couple of videos of my kids? great to
