Where are the night dancers?

May 14, 2008 6:11 PM

A few years ago, I saw a series of videos online, all featuring odd robotic time-shifted dancing within urban environments at night. I can't track them down.

I recall a convenience store and a gas station. I'm also pretty sure the dancers were Asian. I really liked the atmosphere, colors and lighting of these pieces and want to see them again. Anyone know where I can find them? Bonus points for links to things with similar qualities.

Futureshock's "Late at Night"?

Yes - that's it. For some reason, I thought it was more than one video, but this it absolutely what I was looking for. Much thanks.

The company that did the Futureshock video, ne-o, also did some spots for some company during the Superbowl a few years ago, with the same computerized popping and locking. It felt very similar, but the video was much better. The commercials are not on ne-o's site, but with some digging, I'm sure you could find them.
