Yeah since this morning it's been more unstable. I'm guessing it's getting a lot of traffic as it is being discovered. Ctrl-F5 fixed it for me when it won't load of itself (after you the reload it usually works after 10 secs or so).

Dang it, I just missed the 9:59 to 10:00 time change.

Thats pretty damn cool.

Thats pretty damn cool.

I know, it took me a little while to figure it out. It's extremely well thought out and executed.

what's the catch? seems to me they've filmed the crew doing 0-9 then play each number as it changes. right?

Damn. I didn't think about that. I'd like to see that done in 60 seconds

It's interactive. It will display the time in function of the time zone from wich you are watching it (providing your time zone is set correctly in your computer's system settings).

If you click on the links above the clock you can switch between different time zones: Your local time, Los Angeles, New York, London, Moscow, Mumbai, Peking, Tokyo.

Yes they have filmed each transition, taking care that they don't take more than 60 seconds, and they are now using them as animation elements. There's a script that calls the correct anim (video) to display the correct digit in the correct position in function of the time zone you want to see - making it interactive. I haven't looked at it so closely but they might even have several version of the same transition (ie from 4 to 5) just to make it more confusing.

I would bet they filmed the crews in front of a blue screen.

But it's very well done because they are also playing with the lighting of the background, foreground, workers and planks.

Somebody spent a lot of time thinking this through and then making it.

I know that, it was a joke…”The World Revolves around People from L.A." kind of thing…

I'm wrong, just read the comments and it says it was filmed there in place over a 24 hours period with 70 workers. The video is a loop and your local time make it jumps to the correct point of the loop.

I guess that's cool too...
