Really Long YouTube Videos
Kottke linked to a handful of 10 hour videos the other day and it continues to boggle my mind that YouTube can handle them. I imagine the file size for such a crazy length of video is fairly large.
It seems that almost all of the 10 hour are computer generated, so their creation time isn’t anywhere near as long as the time it takes to watch them start to finish. I did stumble across one that, as far as I can tell, was filmed in real time: Jon Counts to 1,000,000.
The final 3 hours of counting to 1,000,000 come in part 2 of the video. Combined, they add up to whopping 77+ hours. It’s truly an insane act of video making.
