There’s quite a bit of this kinda video mashing going on at the mo – but I really like this.

The cast of this promo were selected from the Sour fan base. Each person and scene were filmed purely via webcam.

Sour’s ‘Hibi no Neiro’ (Tone of Everyday) from their first mini album ‘Water Flavor EP’.

Nicely done. Top marks.
