Download Video to PML convertor
The video convertor, will resize practically any video to work on the tiny (yet giant) resolution of the building. For best results, use videos that consist of scenes with a small number of high contrasting colours. For example, the dancers on the home page was developed from a clip of an old B&W tap dancing movie.
