Video Projected on a 600-Year-Old Clock

So let's say you're in Prague on the 600th anniversary of the construction of the Prague Astronomical Clock and you want to have a good time. What do you do? Make a fantastic video and project it onto the entire face of the clock tower, which is quite a feat given the dimensions of the tower. The video below shows what happened -- 10 minutes of animation on the tower, showing among other things: the construction of the tower, its inner gears, luminescent rain, various wars, and floaty astrological symbols reminiscent of a Twilight Zone credits sequence. Also, because it's a tower, it's a really tall video. Weird enough for you yet? Click if you dare.
