Spoof video artist Roman Buchatsky and his brother Vitaly are surfing the web when they come across this video. Which brings us to the Israeli connection. There’s a sign that reads “Push to add drama” pointing at it.Ĭuriosity eventually overcomes passersby and once the button is pressed bystanders unsuspectingly find themselves in an action-packed Hollywood scene.

To promote the launch of a new cable channel in Belgium, they create a brilliant viral video campaign featuring – you guessed it – a red button.
