the unseen video

It's been a while coming, a possible path for the future of music videos and film?...

from the website:

The Unseen Video,
a weather controlled, dynamic music video for Mike Milosh's - You Make Me Feel.

The Unseen Video is much more than a normal, static music video. It is a video that is affected by the weather and local time from the position of the viewer.

We want to create new synergies between the music, the video and the surroundings of the viewer. Every little change in your environment ensures that you will never see the same video twice. The look of the video might slightly change within an hour, but will have a whole new character in a few months.
