Here’s the story. This week, Belgian band Clouseau released a new track and the accompanying video clip. They also launched an online version of the video clip which is supposed to be an absolute first… I’m not so sure.
This is the first screen. Already loo familiar? So you have 6 different rooms and when you click on them, you zoom in to the room.
While it is still pretty cool, it’s far from an absolute first. Big Spaceship already did this for the HBO Voyeur project.
So… Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery? I have my doubts…
You can compare it yourself:
Clouseau (I have no idea why registration is required)
HBO Voyeur
UPDATE: I knew other politicians were going to copy some of Obama’s web tactics but I never would have guessed it was going to be this extreme. Check this out!
Uh, you mean HBO imitated “Rear Window” ?
Well… If Alfred Hitchcock was a webdeveloper, then I guess you’re right. Still… The real question was if it’s really flattery if you copy something and then brag about it saying it is unique and a one of a kind…
