Can you say pretentious? If I wanted to look at a bunch of people smiling I would be a dentist.
December 22nd, 2009 at 8:16 pm
Wouldn’t this video be more interesting if there was more than two minorities. The world isn’t just white.
December 22nd, 2009 at 8:59 pm

very unoriginal…
I’ve seen this almost exact same video on youtube a year ago.
December 23rd, 2009 at 7:52 am
I wondered, too, what was happening to make the people smile. But it doesn’t matter, finally. The smiles are FABULOUS!
December 23rd, 2009 at 9:21 am
THIS IS AWESOME. Especially for the world right now and the Holidays, everyone’s New Year’s resolution should be to smile more.

December 25th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Awesome video made me smile while watching it!
December 25th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
Definitely my favorite by far. I loved the simple concept of a smile, and the backgrounds brought out the colors in all the different faces.

Made me smile too!
December 28th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
Humor is equally artful as drama. Great idea. Gets every viewer to smile without silly satire or someone getting injured in a prank. Magic.
December 29th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Yet another smiling person on this end here! Nice job!
December 29th, 2009 at 11:34 am
LOVE it Pete!
December 30th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
I like it. Created by saying, “Don’t smile for as long as you can, or for 30 seconds, or something.” A clock was above the camera.
December 30th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
It’s like watching flowers bloom!
