I loved this vid. The technical foresight and planning to go into some of the sequences and transitions was amazing.

If the camera videoing the commercial was a bit more steady it would look awesome. But at times you can't really tell whats happening. Olympus should get help from the ad masters (Sony, Honda and Audi), their ads are flipping creative and the Audi ones are hilarious.

I think it would be easier if they used a camcorder instead of a camera. :P
