"To live is the rarest thing in the world.
Most people exist, that is all."
– Oscar Wilde
An interactive video which utilised the now defunct Youtube annotations system. There were many thousands of possible journies through the action, a ‘choose-your-own adventure’ music video. As the viewer progressed through the action, they would have a time-limited option to click on each performer, and be sent to a separate video from a new angle. Each click offered up other perspectives. You can see the full array of options at the split screen video below.
