Gawkings
Steve-o describes it as “Jungian,” to that, I might simply add “utterly captivating.” Gawker is one of the nifty-est pieces of software that has crossed my screen in quite some time — it has that “instant click” appeal. Check out my second major gawk, a day of working on my dissertation proposal…
Download the high-quality QuickTime movie, here.
My first Gawk was the duration of my recent trip up to Michigan from Virginia. Steve-o brought the whole thing to life with some segment stitching and a soundtrack. Ooops, things have changed…. Anyway, check other Gawks here. This is way too much fun ;->

Oh, man – I’m loving this. Nice FLV conversion, too – is that the work of VisualHub (really – how did you do it? Was there an intermediate step?)?
There is something really – to use your perfect word – captivating about this, especially the simultaneity of things; the sunset in this vidfeo is a good example of that.
The music is great, too – and I think adds something extra to the Gawk…
Love the nap!

Tanks, Brudda!
Yeah, VisualHub is a dream ;-> I first converted the 83mb QuickTime movie in VH at the “go nuts” level of output quality, but that ended up at over 22mb, I settled on “standard” for a file size of 14.4mb and pretty much the same look.
