Keck in Motion from Andrew Cooper on Vimeo.

Many thanks to my friend Annie W. for drawing my attention to Andrew Cooper’s “Keck in Motion” video. Every time I watch it, I find myself saying, “Oh, this is the best part!” I can hardly finish the phrase before contradicting myself with, “Oh, wait, THIS is the best part!” and then again with “No, wait! THIS is the best part!” If I had to choose, I’d say marks 1:01, 1:56, 2:14, 2:26, 2:52, 2:58, and 3:03 all begin scenes that are good candidates for “the best part!” However, the scene that starts at 2:46 ultimately wins the contest.
