Where the Hell is Matt? A happy dancing video

Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) from Matthew Harding on Vimeo.

You may have seen Matt Harding dancing all around the world. Here is Matt again, dancing all around the world, this time with the people from all around the world.

Matt was asked, "What the message of the videos?" His reply, "Up to you, I'm just dancing."

You can't not smile when watching this video. Beautiful places and ordinary places, and a guy doing the only move he knows how to do, surrounded by people having fun.

When you read about the environmental issues we face, it can start to feel a bit glum some days. Sometimes we just need to remember what an awesome, awesome planet we live on.

This is as well and dandy, but I bet that his carbon footprint is all sorts of bad. Unless he walked or took a horse to all these places, how much co2 has he emitted by taking jets and cars to make this "happy" video. Also, does he not have financial obligations that would otherwise not permit him to takes these selfish trips around the world? Seems like his parents are well off and he is reaping the rewards while raping the world. Maybe daddy can buy him some carbon offsets!

I didn't get the impression that Matt was super rich, from looking at his blog/bio.

I do agree with your concern about the travel miles.

Here is an interesting story about Matt and the singer on the video:

How a former video-game designer named Matt ("Where the Hell is Matt?") and a Minneapolis-by-way-of-Bangladesh high school student joined forces to get the whole world dancing — together, and to the same song.

What a fun project! I wish I had that much creativity, it's a wonderful video.

To the guy who mentioned his carbon foot print...whatever. If you had the chance to travel all over this earth you know you would love every minute of it.

Just a little FYI about Matt... after his first video, Stride Gum saw his debut on Youtube and decided to sponsor him for his second trip around the world.

Luckily, some of the big business ventures out there see the joy in the world, not just profit! Gratz Matt!
