Is probably my favorite web video, of all time, ever. Raises the question: Why is all web video still 4:3 (or at best 16:9)? Why aren't there more long skinny videos like this one? Or tall thin ones? Or weird square ones?
Beautiful. I hadn't seen it before, and I'm very glad I have now.

I enjoyed the horizontal repetition of the frame. At times it created a nice, temporal panorama. Always interesting to see someone pushing the limits of linear media.
That song is beautiful...is it possible to download/buy it somewhere, I wonder?

I agree Ze, it was almost hypnotizing. That was the first time I've seen it. Do you know if he's done anything else?

Fascinating. It's one of those ideas that when you see it, you wish you had thought of.

Lovely!
It reminds me a lot of the "Handclapping Number" from one of the early seasons of Sesame Street. Except there's just one guy. And no puppets.
