Looking for a really cool video about MIT that I think was previously on their admissions website

Colleges and Universities A-Z Massachusetts Institute of Technology

<p>It was a student-produced film about life at MIT, with a bike riding guy who falls in love with a girl. Really well produced, no dialogue, fairly recent. Does anyone remember it and have a link?</p>

<p>That’s it! Thanks for the link. I think it’s location on your homepage was well deserved. :)</p>

<p>“Anyone who doesn’t wear a helmet while biking is a drooling moron - or worse, a hipster.” -You, June 3rd, 2010
Comment section of <a href=“Biking in Boston | MIT Admissions”>http://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/biking_in_boston&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>And here you are, practically encouraging biking without a helmet by claiming that you “love” this video that glorifies unsafe biking! And you even want to put it on your homepage! The boy is only ever seen without a helmet and in the end he even gets the girl, implying that perhaps his disregard for safety and “hipster” mannerisms is what led to her attraction to him. </p>

<p>What do you have to say for yourself? Or has your opinions changed over the last 4 years and you now retract your statements about helmets? </p>

<p>I demand admissions videos that promote safety! Maybe even of the musical variety, a la Yale? In the first 10 seconds of their video they show a guy on a bike with a helmet (<a href=“That's Why I Chose Yale - YouTube”>That's Why I Chose Yale - YouTube). </p>

<p>Subliminal messages are dangerous, you have to watch out what you’re endorsing. </p>

<p>…</p>

<p>I need school to start. I’m way too bored right now. </p>

<p>If this were supposed to be a realistic video, the bike would have gotten stolen the minute after the guy set it down at the stairs at 77 Mass Ave.</p>

<p>So get a bicycle :wink: </p>

<p>Also I don’t think they change their clothes in the two or three days the video is set in.</p>

<p>Not that that doesn’t happen.</p>

<p><em>ahem</em></p>

<p>But I really, really, <em>really</em> like this video. It is incredibly well done.</p>
