The Ultimate Tracking Shot

Corii sent me this record of human life as seen by a camera set on a sushi conveyor belt. It is great. Can’t think of a better way to capture candid reactions to the unusual and, for those who don’t notice the camera, an authentic documentation of everyday life. Imagine the joy of the geniuses who set it in motion when the digicam made that final turn and arrived safely in front of them, video captured.

Cool bit of video art! My favorite parts are the people who realize the error just as they're passing out of frame.

Ah, looks like the original poster disabled embedding. Your find worked. Thanks, Simon. Bolero is a pretty great soundtrack.
