what it is: footage of the moving trains,
crowds, interiors and platform of the jr
shinjuku station in tokyo, we're told it's the
busiest commuter rail station in the world.
everything was shot as details (close ups and
texture), and all the graphic overlays (route
mapping for the 5 key tokyo jr lines, station
names in kanji, times of departure/ arrival)
are based on conway-life pattern sequences
and some other cellular automata programs
we downloaded from the web.

big thanks to susumu hirasawa for making a
perfect soundtrack, shiro katsurai of the
east japan railway company, george arriola
at adobe systems, and stacy williams at big
sky communications for the nihongo fonts.
