The Unseen Video is more engaging than a triple digit group marriage. The project is a weather-controlled dynamic music video created by Daniel Scheibel and Ferdinand Weinrother.

Made for the song “You Make Me Feel” by Canadian photographer and musician Mike Milosh, The Unseen Video represents a new type of interactive media. The video, built in Flash, changes how it looks based entirely on weather data it gathers online.

Every element of the weather, from current P.O.P. to when the sun rises, will have an effect on what you see. The website has a sizeable chart mapping out the relationships between the visual elements and the related weather conditions. The temperature outside will affect the colour, scale, and quantity of ornaments and flowers seen while the sunrise and sunset affect the overall brightness.

Why did they create such a thing? For school, of course!

theunseenvideo is the final year project of Daniel Scheibel and Ferdinand Weinrother. The work was generated during the summer term of March-July 2005 at the Department of Design, University of Applied Sciences Augsburg, Germany.

This is a brilliant final project for a design degree. Hell, for anything. I’ve already lost a sizeable chunk of my time watching it so often, take care the same doesn’t happen to you.
