Sushi train video camera

This video is so entertaining I had to repost! via BoingBoing.

Why I love it:

  • The contrast between, and wide variety of reactions: surprised, amused, completely oblivious, total deadpan, somewhat concerned, “I’m way to stressed to care about that”. Priceless!
  • That occasional pause of uncertainty where people’s brains decide how they are going to react.
  • The film (intentionally or not) has great dramatic structure. She sat at just the right location to have the dramatic climax at that sweet spot in time. Nice long build-up lures the viewer into a false sense of security, then BAM! Unexpected-Event-desu! Followed by nice quick resolution.
  • My brain is now going crazy thinking of weird and wonderful places to put my camera (NO, not THOSE kind of places, geez!)

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! I can feel a new reality TV genre emerging…
