nope - I kept waiting for it to be clever - with a constant perceived rate along the platform but people speeding up their movements as the train slowed and the clip speeded up - but it didn't really look like that.

Rorschach - I've heard that some people still miss it after watching 4 or 5 times. Unbelievable!

From the bloke who shot it...

"Action - There isn’t much of this either! I feel that adds to the experience: it’s repeatedly been described as mesmerising or hypnotic. I wanted to capture a slice of ordinary life that wouldn’t otherwise be seen, and adding a gimick would detract from that simple pleasure. I think it worked, particularly for international viewers who have picked up on everything from British signage (“Way Out” rather than “Exit”), to the relative slimness/attractiveness of average Bathonians compared to Americans. Many comments were to the effect that “this should be boring, but somehow it wasn’t”.

Still, there were plenty of suggestions for seeding the platform with characters to add excitement: gymnasts mid-jump, a timelord rushing through at ‘normal’ speed (any sprinters with a taste for cosplay?), a waiter spilling soup, a streaker… some celebrity cameos wouldn’t hurt either, although the youtube crowd think they’ve spotted a few already!"

So... Rorschach... keep looking at yer inkblots eh?
