I don't use Chrome. When you can get it working for more browsers will happily take a look.
Well made, but you really have got to fix the slow scrolling. I would have to have my midfinger amputated if I were to scroll all the way to the end.

Slick presentation though.

You know.. There is a reason people despise IE, and one of those reason is "Must be viewed in IE."

This isn't a web page, it's a chrome app, go put it on the chrome store.

In my opinion this would have been better as a movie. The only interactivity was scrolling down the page to control the speed of the montage. I think the strength of a Document vs a conventional documentary/montage thing is that you can introduce a lot more information in a format that isn't strictly linear. This was linear and oftentimes too busy in with the transitions. Also, the choppy speed of my mouse scrolling vs. a smooth constant speed montage actually makes it feel more busy during big transitions.

The tech is cool, but this instance of it isn't really doing it for me.

Love the content, but my hand can't take it.
If anyone here is interested in interactive documentaries, you should check out Clouds when it comes out:

It's a documentary on generative art and that is also an executable. Basically several artist coders got together to put together a documentary on their craft and the art of each will be showcased as a layer on top of the documentary that you can play/interact with while the artist is discussing its creation and whatnot.
