Soul Sacrifice - from Woodstock the Movie

The legendary 1969 Woodstock Concert also produced one of the most successful and best documentaries. With so much footage shot, but with the studio’s unwillingness to expand the running time of the completed film,  young film editors Martin Scorsese, Thelma Spoonaker and director Michael Wadleigh used innovative wide-screen and split screen editing techniques to maximise the amount of imagery that could be presented. These mosaic effects allowed for highly engaged spectatorship of the incredible line up as well as, allowing concert footage and crowd reaction to appear together simultaneously.

Showing the completed work to only twenty friends, it spread across the web, racking up more than one million views in less than a week and more than 10 million views in two weeks. Time Magazine named it one of the "50 Best Inventions of 2009 and in October 2010, Kutiman was invited by YouTube to perform at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City.
