I don't think this has been posted here but I thought it might be of interest.  This video is almost guaranteed to clutch you up just a bit......

It may take a while to load - it's in High Definition and 5 minutes long.  Enjoy

Brilliant video... had me in tears!

Thanks. Jerfilm!

[Mark Thomas]

Yes me too. Silly really, but there something very powerful there.

Very fine, and moving of course.

But these so-called "flash mob" scenes deliberately are staged, it seems to me.  After all, there were camera shots from all angles, even apparently up in the trees or on light poles.  So, although the "audience" reaction (carefully captured in selected close-ups) may be spontaneous, the rest of the scene must have been thoroughly choreographed and rehearsed.

Anyway, nice video - thanks.

Powerful. But for me, too slickly shot.

[jerfilm]

Well, of course they're staged and rehearsed.  But what fun!!

And the "slick" - it looked to me like it was sponsored by the bank which shows up in a number of shots. 

Glad you liked it.  There's another one somewhere where they do the Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah in a grocery store which can also bring tears to those so inclined.  Including yours truly.
