I happened across this shot from Oz's Lion (a movie I made with a bunch of my friends) and I just wanted to put it up 'cause I was so proud.
Remember Matt Harding? We posted
his first vidéo de joie on this site about 13 months ago. Apparently, we weren't the only ones moved by Matt's "little video" that he had put together. Basically, it was just him doing a silly dance at various far-flung venues across the globe.
It was moving.
And now, he's back again with a little help from his friends at
Stride Gum. Matt did the same thing over again but he tweaked it a little. Watch the whole thing and don't get all cynical and just let the joy wash over you. Hell, let it linger for a while.
Savor it some before you go back to thinking that the whole world is screwed up and we're headed towards a peak oil apocalypse. Hold out hope that one day, this will inspire people across the globe to go out in their yards at a specific time, on a specific day and do a silly, little dance with their friends and families for no more than two minutes or so, all the while knowing that across the globe, friends and families are doing the same silly, little dance at exactly the same time.
Just do that today. OK? It's ok, nobody's looking.
Now dig on Matt and where the hell he is...1950 - 2008
