This is the sort of thing we're working on at Vidpresso. If this impresses you, and you want to build stuff like this... we should be friends. Contact info is in my profile.

We should be friends. Love the concept of Vidpresso; I woud have liked to try a demo but it required me filling out a form. :(

That's what I'm coding right now! :) We're reworking our marketing site.

Hi, I'm the person responsible for/guilty of this. Thanks for the comments, everyone. My sympathies for the BSOD.

Please keep the bug reports and questions coming. I'll try to fix/answer what I can.

IN JS? This is so cool. Also: fun to compare the raw video to the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12zJw9varYE :)

Would also be interesting to see if they could recreate the effect of the original video in JS also.

Isn't the algorithm just, filter out the greenscreen, for each remaining pixel draw it to the buffer, draw the buffer to the screen?

That doesn't seem more complicated than the examples they showed.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Isn't the green screen kind of required?

Perhaps something like this could be done: http://clippingmagic.com/ (discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5682831 )

Something similar to that is possible for video. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGMqXBvYxog

I'm working on porting this over to Seriously.js so it should run in the GPU, hopefully pretty fast. The first crack at it was not so good, and now I'm experimenting with some new features that are only in Chrome nightly builds at the moment (and buggy at that). So look for this in the next 3-6 months.

This is pretty awesome, but it seems like OK Go has cornered the market on "cool web tech" demo music videos. Doesn't anybody remember their collaboration with Google? http://allisnotlo.st I fully expect them to do something with Microsoft for IE11 to complete the cycle.

Actually there have been some other very nice ones recently:

I'm confused, is the green screen suppose to be intentionally bad? It not only removes the background but most of the people as well. Edit: Here is what it looks like for me: http://i.imgur.com/8wflg8Q.jpg in both Firefox 21 and Chrome 29+27

Working fine on 27.0.1453.93 on OSX here. Although the pictures seem to have been changed. There's only one person's face on the left on mine.

Picture? It's a video.

Same here. Could it be because I am running Linux?
