The main window is using Flash. It's not html5 only :( Still neat idea.

Sadly I've succumbed to the idea that HTML5 is just a buzzword now and only refers to something pretty on the web. The good news is if my manager decides that my next project must be "HTML5", I can use HTML4/JQuery and call it HTML5 rather than argue about browser interoperability.

yeah html 5 posts typically refer to an html4/jquery site (with one <video > tag or something. Lots of hype so far...

And this is a flash video. I bet these positive comments soon turn negative...

this is a great video made by a really good team. If you like this video, you might enjoy other projects by the director, masa:

including two sour videos, one of which was a big viral hit:

I'm a huge fan of masa's work -- my favorite is this clever flip / book, rainbow illusion:

Extremely buggy on Ubuntu/Chrome.

wow... that was absolutely amazing.

This was absolutely brilliant. I really love how it takes the web OUTSIDE THE WEB by playing with multiple browser windows to create animated content rather than just going for animated HTML within a single browser instance.

I switched to other window while loading, but then then MV starts and I have to click multiple window to restore them.

And it's not HTML5, the loading scroll bar is definitely Flash.
