The Awesome Wilderness Downtown

It’s been around for a few weeks now, but we thought this amazing video was just too cool not to mention. The Wilderness Downtown is an interactive film made by Chris Milk, it’s a Google Chrome experiment, it’s a music video for We Used To Wait by Arcade Fire and it’s all around flipping amazing!

The concept is designed to take you back to your childhood via an interactive journey, mapped to the sound of Arcade Fire. The video is best viewed on Google Chrome (with all of your other browsers and programs closed, if you want the sleekest experience) and demonstrates the unbelievable capabilities of HTML 5.

We’re not going to get over geeky because it really is a case of a picture (or video in this case) paints thousands and thousands of words! Click on the link and enjoy the trip down memory lane…
