You may have seen this video already, but it's still worth sharing

Today, I stumbled across a video that is probably my favorite YouTube selection of all time.  It's infectious, fun, and I see something new every time I see it.  Additionally, it never fails to bring a smile to my face, so I hope it brightens your day. I am posting a version with "heck" in the title in case you want to share it. The original version has been viewed about 29 million times.

I won't ruin it by explaining every nuance here, but I will point out that watching this piece gives me hope for humanity.  It's just plain fun, too.  :-) Frankly, it makes me wish I'd thought of it first, and it inspires me with its creativity.

There are three versions (different years) - this is the most recent iteration, and it took 14 months to make. I bet you can't watch it just once. Make sure you watch it in its entirety - there are some clever and amazing parts.

Enjoy:

I saw this on your facebook page and thought it was awesome. I remember seeing a vide on youtube of a guy who had taken a facial picture everyday in the same place for over 10 years and then turned it into a video. Very cool! I wish I had this kind of imagination, but I think the Marine Corps smacked it out of me. :)

Dance and the word dances, sings, joins you. No matter how large the crowd, setting, location, you see the one Matt stand out, dancing alone, in a group, to his own drum that is infectious. There is a sermon here.

Wow, I expected something more choreographed so I was initially confused.  This was a fun and feel-good video; thank you for sharing it here.  I wouldn't have found it otherwise.

My favorite part was in Gurgaon, India, where he actually did a couple dance movements with the women. Zero G was cool, too.

I didnt notice this video you posted before. I happened to come across it because someone reblogged it. This was video is very cool. I found it about a year ago, posted from someone on Twitter I believe. Makes you want to travel. Its a great idea to be dancing all over the world. Very creative and memorable.
