This amazing video for the Japanese band Sour's single "Hibi no Neiro" was cut entirely from Webcam footage shot by (and of) their fans. (Thanks, Mathias Crawford!)

From The Telegraph: "It is turning the Bible into titillation," said Mike Judge, of the Christian Instit... More.
Brit copyright group says, "No laptops allowed in cinemas"

That is amazing! I love the creativity that people have. I am left feeling rather imagination-challenged, since I have no idea how they did all that unless they just used a ton of coordination, but even that would have been a challenge! Wow!
WOW! that was incredible. I wonder how they got so much coordination
Remember when Boing Boing used to have new stuff? I do.
This video is so old it was already plagiarized on a TV ad here in Brazil.
Remember when Boing Boing was "A directory of wonderful things"?
Truly amazing! I think it's best I couldn't immediately figure out how they pulled it off. Ok, I still don't know.
New to me, but everybody knows that America being hip is so last century. Besides, anything not in English has to be absolutely transcendent to get us to pay any little bit of attention.
That said, that video was _amazing_! I'd be interested to know how it was coordinated. Then again, maybe not... perhaps my life is happier just gawking in wonder at the spectacle.
This video was featured on Boing Boing a few months ago if memory serves, but it's good enough to show again!
Well I'm glad it got posted again because I missed it the first time and that was awesome.
Remember when something wonderful didn't have to be new to talk about it?
this was imitated by Cellcom, a phone company from israel.

This sort of collaborative video seems to be becoming a bit of a trend.
Prior to this there was the Kutiman video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tprMEs-zfQ), the theremin Gnarls Barkley video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW0B1sipLBI), Flight of the Concords did something similar - I can't seem to find it though :( - and I just saw that Pepsi jumped on the bandwagon and released a tool to let people create these sorts of videos too (http://www.youtube.com/refresheverything).
I'm really curious to see where this leads...it seems a bit of a (unintended?) slippery slope for the labels/artists that are letting this happen. I hope it's a sign that they are growing more comfortable with letting their fans remix/repurpose content and build on their art. Or maybe I'm putting too much meaning behind this stuff...but I'd love to think this is a baby step that will lead to more openness and flexibility in copyright when it comes to music...
