ONLINE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: WHERE THE HELL IS MATT?
If you haven’t seen the original version, perhaps you should start here. In 2003, a friend captured Matt getting his silly dance on in Hanoi, Vietnam. The video was passed around on the internet and Matt became quasi-famous. Stride gum approached him in 2006 and offered him expenses to travel to 39 countries on 7 continents to dance in a variety of locations. After releasing that video in June of ’06, Matt received thousands of responses from all over the world. Matt approached Stride Gum to venture out this time, not to dance alone, but to dance with groups of people. This time he traveled to 42 countries and danced with a cast of thousands.
The video was uploaded on June 20th and has already been viewed over 2 million times. The video speaks to bringing together separate cultures all over the world using one silly dance as a universal language. Couldn’t love it more.
If you want more information on the creation process, here’s a full explanation from the creator himself.
