This is like something out of a Jean-Pierre Jeunet flick. Love it. posted by gwint at 10:47 PM on February 2, 2011
Neat.
I seem to recall a much more portable robotic spraypaint delivery system that could print messages on the ground. Can't find it now. Anyone? posted by Sys Rq at 10:49 PM on February 2, 2011

That was a nice piece of film-making. posted by Bushmiller at 10:55 PM on February 2, 2011
I normally dislike posts of a SLV where I have no or little idea of what the link is actually about. I started with that position on this post, but something made me check it out and I am glad I did. Lovely and creative film of a paint rainbow. Well worth watching. Thanks for posting, Ahab. posted by vac2003 at 11:07 PM on February 2, 2011
That is all.

Why so complicated? A long stick wouldn't get as many vimeo views?
Also, when when WHEN will the trend of showing meaningless closeups end? Show me a context. What does it do, first of all, and where are these parts attached? posted by DU at 6:00 AM on February 3, 2011
Jesus fuck, skip to the last TWO SECONDS of the video to see the point. posted by odinsdream at 8:44 AM on February 3, 2011 [3 favorites]

There is context--it starts with closeups which start to piece together in your head up to the final shot. It's a valid form of story telling. posted by hanoixan at 9:01 AM on February 3, 2011
It's a valid form of story telling.
It's called the "click-scene," and it happens in many if not most, action movies from westerns to science fiction. Before the big battle, there's a closeup montage of buckles and latches and metal parts being inserted, snapped, and locked in place. Then, finally, the shot of the warrior in full regalia, then onto the decisive victory. posted by StickyCarpet at 9:20 AM on February 3, 2011 [6 favorites]
This is awesome! posted by maortiz at 11:09 AM on February 3, 2011
Eh, 90% of this was just over the top gratuitous shots of some dude's bike. Someone just wanted to show off their fancy camera.
The payoff was great, though. posted by keep_evolving at 11:55 AM on February 3, 2011
This it?
YES!!!
then the marketing clones at nike ripped it off depoliticising it and turning it into another parasitic sales channel.

I call that a CHiPs, myself. (Not to be confused with "CHiPs shot," the comically cliche freeze-frame-of-protagonists-laughing-at-final-punchline-while-end-credits-roll.) posted by Sys Rq at 11:17 PM on February 3, 2011
