Sprite Zero Goes (Non) Interactive With Skater Video

sprite_zero_skater.jpg

On the one hand, this Sprite Zero video in which a skater goes airborne to do a few stunts is impressive. On the other hand, it’s terrible because it looks totally fake. Upon take off, the skater tells the viewer that pushing keys four through nine will choose the stunts he performs while in the air. But all those keys really do is act as markers making the video jump to the segment where a particular stunt is performed. There’s really nothing interactive at all.
