30-second video designed to loop on the NASDAQ Tower on Times Square on August 19, 2009 from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM in conjunction with Intersil ringing the opening bell.
The tower is an approximate 1:0.42 aspect ratio (portrait), but the video had to be delivered in a 16:9 (landscape) format,so the original video was stretched 237% horizontally. This video is squeezed back so that the images don't appear distorted, but pillar boxes are added to the side.
Also, the video is displayed on Times Square without sound, but Also sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30 was added here since it was appropriate.
