loved, loved the video - made my hubby watch it and then we decided we loved it even more because his name is matt (like my hubby) and he lives in Seattle, like us, which makes him even cooler.
And I think I might just be a bit jealous of him.
Great challenge!!

Oh I might have to do this one! I love that video. I played it for my sons and it is great to see all the different places and there is just something about it that captures your heart in a goofy way.
You have to check out his crab video and the outtakes. They crack me up!

Thanks so much for this wonderful challenge. I posted mine in my portfolio here.
I cried the first few times I watched this video. Amazing masterpiece!
=)
P.S. My son's name is Matt so ditto for the double meaning of "where the hell is matt?" =)

Great layout cbptena!

I wonder what is is about the video that brings us to tears? I am sure he didn't mean his quirky dance to be some profound act.

I think it is the fact that we are always involved in conflicts with people we don't really "know" and the reality is that something like doing a goofy dance can bring strangers from all sorts of cultures and laguages together, even for just a moment, showing nothing but happiness and joy and understanding. It shows us the good in people...the happiness that we all share. I see smiles, laughter, fun, hope, unity...and more. And in the world we live in today, and the news we hear every night, is anything but that message of peace and harmony. My 2 cents. :)

I was telling my kids when they saw it that he should be on the UN or something! Seriously I hope they take that concept and have him do a tv show or something about different parts of the world.

On my part, I was feeling really down when I watched the video. Maybe because I've been a little overwhelmed with everyday responsibilities. What the video meant, for me, was to look beyond my small view of the world and just to enjoy it.
It's amazing also to see so many people from across the world, especially children, who are willing to dance and to smile and share their optimism in a simple video.
In Matt's FAQ on his site, he's asked, "So what's the message of what you're doing?" (Yep, I just had to read it.) And his reply was, "The message is up to you. I'm just dancing."
What amazes me, even in Noel's challenge, is how other people have interpreted so many different messages from a single video.
I read this somewhere and this was the inspiration of my piece: One world, different dreams. =)
Thanks again for looking at what I made. And thanks again for the amazing challenge.
