Internet People: Can you spot who everyone is?

This is an amusing and clever video I’ve just come across on YouTube: Internet People. As its creators say “it’s an animated tribute to the internet people of the world, wherever you may be.”

It celebrates those ordinary people who found expression — and sometimes, fame — on YouTube before political campaign managers and corporate spin doctors realised its potential.

Animated by Dan Meth, with music by Dan Meth and Micah Frank, Internet People captures and celebrates our shared Internet experiences over the last half-decade with cartoon caricatures that are somehow funnier than the original footage.

“I dare you to watch it just once—or to get all the references after even three viewings,” says animator Meth.

Dan Meth is about to have his own cartoon series – the Meth Minute 39 – on Channel Federator. So watch out!
