I wish i could have this as a real clock in my house. Just maybe put it on a small LCD screen on the wall? Bang on.

I saw it today, and it was wonderful! I loved every minute I witnessed, :)

why putting so much efford in searching thousands of clocktime miniclips in random movies... just watch 24. xD

There is no plot? Its just a montage of clocks that correlate with real time if you start it at the right time??..... Isn't it better off just to mute it and use the movie instead of a clock? Basically.. he made a clock? From other clocks?... That tells the time.. like a clock? He is forcing people to watch a clock for 24 hours? I could watch 24 hours of real movies, and just look at my watch off and on,, and it would be fairly similar... It just sounds like a lot of work. What catharsis occurs?

How can you watch a 24 hour film twice in one day?

I created a similar piece several years ago called 12345678. I recorded 8 tv channels at 12;34 on 5-6-78 and at that time edited the segments together. I have a 20,000 hour video library of all types of TV events for 20+ years as I published a video magazine, on video not paper, called Instant Replay

I agree... Why isn't this done? Does it have to do with the rights? I have a solution!
