Dozens of Dropped Cameras Make for One Intriguing Video

We've all been there. You didn't put on a wrist or neck strap, your grip wasn't as sure as you thought it was, and down it goes. There's a feeling in the pit of your stomach as you watch your camera fall, unsure of its eventual fate.

Chris Beckman knows that feeling too, but he used it to his advantage. He took YouTube videos in which a camera was accidentally dropped and combined them into one ten minute video that's hard to pull away from.

The brilliant thing about this video is that the cuts between each segment occur so smoothly that it's as if each user is picking up a camera that the other dropped.

You can see the video, entitled 'oops,' in full at Vimeo, where it won first prize in the Experimental Film category.
