Friday Flash Fun. Compelling animation, with a wonderful soundtrack. Warning for the light-sensitive - bright, flashing screen.

Okay I just wasted 10 minutes of my life so you don't have to:

Oh my fucking god it never gets any better than what you see in the first ten seconds.

Suggestion: Put the browser window in the background and just enjoy the music.

What Stan said. I kept waiting for it to produce images instead of just words, and wanted to pull the plug sooner, but I liked the offbeat version of "Caravan."

See, thats the problem with you people... young whipersnappers...

If it doesn't have flashy graphics, why pay attention...? Bah!

For those of us with a longer attention span than an onion, it was quite funny...

Wow. Kinetic typography and Jazz in a great story.

This is art. Not visceral, but very imaginative. Scene II was great.

I tell you what, Wow.

Anyone know what the soundtrack is from (Mingus?!). That was great!

That does sound like Mingus, and it's definitely Duke on the piano, so it's probably the version of Caravan from Money Jungle -- good album.

"uosuaq"
Best. Username. Ever.

What kfury said, with the additional observation that this kind of art strikes me as a fine example of the capacity of the wwweb to encourage and distribute truly creative stuff.

Love all of Young-Hae Chang's stuff. I think this is a great piece.

Young-Hae Chang's site, for those new to the work.

I watched the credits and the music is, indeed, Money Jungle. Good call uosuaq.

I keep thinking that I'm going to get bored with Young-Hae Chang, but I never do.

I'll never read the name "Samsung" again without smirking.

This is a repeat!

The 'Search' facility on here sucks. I searched the URL, I searched "Samsung" and nothing came up.

But it's new to me and apparently to plenty of other people too.

Oh well ... :-(

Just marvy. I really enjoyed that, thank you.
