In the "simple pleasures" column for the day, please enjoy this video from Oren Lavie. The technique on display isn't exactly new, but it's so smartly conceived and well-executed that it serves as a nice reminder that while technical innovation is all well and good, creativity and imagination still trump it.

It loses a point for the "edit" that occurs at the 2:37 point, which violates the reality that the rest of the video has worked so hard to establish. (So much so, in fact, that you'll note that I referred to it as an edit in a video that's nothing but edits.) But it gains that point back by the way the woman at the center of it all keep her eyes closed through the entire thing like the dream that it is.
