SXSW Videos

Please watch in 'HQ' and Fullscreen. --- One of the latest Chrome Experiments showing off what HTML5 can do is the new music video from Arcade Fire. It's recommended you launch the website in Google Chrome and close all other applications for a smooth experience. It says it's processor heavy, but it doesn't make mine scream like it does when viewing Flash content. In other words, your computer should be able to launch the site easily. You might have to be patient and wait for it to load. If it doesn't loead after 5 minutes, then refresh. thewildernessdowntown.com --- This is MY experience of the video. I entered an address that I lived near in my childhood and it presented me with Google Maps satellite data from that neighbourhood during the video. The video you're watching is NOT edited or post processed in any way. It loaded quickly because I had already cached the website (your results may vary).
