If you haven't seen this already it's a video made in South Korea for Samsung featuring 1,152 people coordinating their moves to make images (like a monster LCD screen). They're not using cards, but clothes with different colors to make the changes. It's pretty mesmerizing, particularly if you've been doing drugs. In addition, at 1:05 in the video a cameraman almost gets trampled on the left side of the screen. Sweet. I particularly like the dancer they make at the 3:00 mark -- I think I saw her muff.

    • I've seen similar demonstrations of this before, but never with this size. (I've seen 100 people or so)

      I wouldn't be surprised if they created some software that assigns "color positions" to each person. (treating each person like a pixel) It's hard to tell what they are wearing, but it looks like a cape that has a red, yellow, and blue side. Depending on the position they are standing, only one color is seen from above. So each dancer has to remember their positions timed to the music. ("At 4 seconds, I need to be in blue position, and 6 seconds I need to be in red position" etc)

      Actually, everything I just said came out of my ass. I have no clue how they made this.
