Somewhere, over the snowbow... man beams movie onto falling snow A New Yorker projects a film out of his window during the recent snowstorm to create a mesmerising light show. Video: Youtube/Brian Maffitt YOU'RE stuck in your house in a small town on the fringe of New York city, it's snowing like crazy and the bagel joint on the corner is closed. So how do you amuse yourself? You point your video projector out the window and project a movie into the blizzard, that's how. Brian Maffitt pointed his Canon EOS 7D video camera out his upstairs window. A pine tree provided a dark backdrop and the heavily-falling snow provided the screen. The movie Mr Maffitt chose was The Lorax. As he told US website The Atlantic, he that particular film because it was on top of the Netflix list of children's movies. His thinking was simple. The more popular the kid's flick, the more colour saturation it would have. He got that right. Mr Maffitt beamed The Lorax out into the snowy night, and the rest was pure, swirly colourful magic. Watch the video. It's kind of like being stuck inside a kaleidoscope, and will make you feel good today. The soundtrack, pinched from the stock options in Final Cut Pro, will make you feel like you're stuck in the lounge bar of a dingy four star star hotel next to a freeway offramp, but never mind. The pretty colours are nice, and there are loads of stills on Mr Maffitt's flickr page if the video's not enough.
