Melbourne Storm
created: 29 December 2002

Low res which doesn't do justice to the intensity of the storm. Mouse in to each video and it toggles. The top video toggles a text track. The second video toggles the soundtrack. The lower video no longer quite works but if you get it at the right moment there is a single yellow 'i' that scrolls down the left side of the video. I think this once said 'rain' and it, well, rained down the page. A lot of these scrolling text tracks have become broken in more recent versions of QuickTime, and this seems to be another one.

From the original publication:

Cycling in to work one day an enormous brief thunderstorm arrived. I used my Canon ixus still camera to shoot some video of the deluge. This is it.
