MOVE! [A Viral Video that Takes You Around the World!]





Although I'm not traveling anywhere special for Spring Break, having time off means doing things that I normally don't get to do within my daily routine... like catching glimpses of some fun TV shows as I work on "to-do projects" around my apartment.

Today, I caught an awesome segment on The Today Show and I just had to share it! The segment featured viral videos, specifically filmmaker Rick Mereki's 1 minute video, Move.  The video takes you around the globe in exactly one minute, featuring a traveler walking in the backdrop of some of the universe’s most iconic locations. What’s really captivating about this series is that the camera only captures the subject walking straight towards the lens or horizontally across the many international backdrops. It’s something to see!

Rick, and his production team of two, traveled on 18 flights for a grand total of 38 thousand miles. They traveled to 11 countries in 44 days. Rick also explained that the reason Move looks so great is because of symmetry. He said that if the compilation featured a ton of different angles and shots, it wouldn't look nearly as aesthetically pleasing.

This video really made me want to travel more! With over 2 million views, check out MOVE:
