Every so often, you come across a clip in YouTube that seems to personify what the site was set up for in the first place.

A site where people can show their film-making skills without the need to endlessly approach people directly.

This half animated short paints a fascinating picture of the life of cycle couriers in New York. It doesn't sound all that exciting, I grant you, but it's strangely mesmerising.
