Adventures In Time And Space 2: Where The Hell Is Matt?

Dancing 2005

Where The Hell Is Matt?

Video game designer Matt Harding created a video called Dancing that shows him dancing at various locations around the world. After making his video from footage that he collected from his travels in 2003 and 2004, Matt posted it for his family and friends on his blog in 2005.

Matt then made a second, extended video in 2006 with sponsorship from Stride gum. The video is also called Dancing, which he uploaded to YouTube as Where The Hell Is Matt? His website for his experiences can be found here.
