That's definitely technically impressive. The thing is, though, I will never understand why people show this kind of thing off. Nobody is going to make a video like this in SVG except when they're showing off the capability of the browser - it's simply not worth the money or the time.

I mean, sure, it's a tech demo, and a damn impressive one at that. But what's it showing off? Those of us who know why it's technically impressive know that it's never going to be worth it to do anything of this scale. Those of us who don't don't see any difference between this and, say, a flash video.

Regardless of whatever it is that I'm missing, this is fantastic. I can't even imagine just how difficult this would have been to make.
