patora911 setup a camera so it would record it’s trip around a on sushi conveyor belt at a restaurant in Tomakomai, Hokkaido, Japan. The people’s reactions are wonderful.
UPDATE 1: Dennis Wheatley used a similar concept in Tokyo back in 1998 when me made the music video for “Lost In A Moment” by the UK group Shrift.
UPDATE 2: Here’s another video from 2006 made by Andy Scearce at Maguro-bito in Tokyo. It features a guest appearance by our friend Olya Lapina.

I love this video, I’ve been playing it with various soundtracks all morning. The best match yet is Hood’s “Year of the Lost You”.
What does it say about me that I sat there and watched the whole damn thing.
And to DocPop- Her Morning Elegance by Oren Lavie was playing while I watched. It was pretty perfect.
Wow, this video is amazing. I was surprised when the lady took the camera from the conveyer belt. And the reactions were simply amazing.
Mite, mite. Camera. Ooooo Sugoi.
I’m not phobic, but I sort of liked seeing all the face masks on the food handlers. Ah…..ahhhh…..ah choo! WE
@Aimee, that music is a great fit but her stop motion music video for that song is a perfect fit already http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_HXUhShhmY
Which reminds me of the original stop motion bed video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_HXUhShhmY (about 3:30 in).
Genius. This needs to be repeated all over the world and presented at TED.
this is actually a take off of a video that was popular on vimeo three weeks ago http://vimeo.com/1297050
How wonderful! It’s when it enters the kitchen that this becomes epic.
(And, just what you hope to see on the camera you sent around the conveyor belt: a kitchen worker scratching her butt.)
this has been done before.
i watched this video months ago.

God, I wish I knew what they were saying. Esp. the kichen lady.
I saw the 3rd video somewhere some time ago and immediately I knew the song I’d like to hear with it. Midlake / Bandits. I’m a rat… http://tinyurl.com/awcfaj
@Rachel
most of the comments seem to be ‘oh look, a camera.’
toward the end, where the guy puts it back on the conveyor, i hear him say ‘gaijin-san’. gaijin meaning foreigner. so i think he was explaining to the woman in the kitchen that it belonged to the white girls who put the camera there.
