Google Wave Used to Illustrate 'Pulp Fiction' Movie Scene

Google Wave Used to Illustrate Famous Movie Scenes
Several of us here at Switched have been playing with Google Wave for a few days now. And we have to admit that our fervent anticipation was quickly replaced by confusion as we tried to figure out what, exactly, this thing is good for. Thankfully, between our bouts of hair-pulling and trying to make sense of the mess that our Waves quickly became, we still had time to check our Twitter feeds and caught this post from Gina Trapani, founder of Lifehacker and Smarterware.

It seems that Joe Sabia, of whirled interactive, has figured out a great use for Google Wave -- making viral YouTube videos. Sabia dreamed up Google Wave Cinema, where he uses Wave to illustrate famous scenes from films like 'Pulp Fiction' (after the break) and 'Good Will Hunting (here).' The scenes are definitely NSFW, or children's ears, so if you're at your desk you might want to bookmark this for later.

The videos are entertaining, tying in YouTube clips and images to help illustrate the dialogue, and subtly show off the power of Wave. That being said, it's going to take a bit more than a clever video to convince us of the application's usefulness. [From: whirled interactive, via Gina Trapani]
