Thanks for posting this, Kim. At first I was thinking huh? but then it got interesting when I noticed the effect of the sword unmoving relative to the camera. In other words the sword never moves, trippy! Added this to my YouTube faves, it could come in handy for some cinematography technique in the future.

PS - and yes, I got dizzy.

Such a simple idea yet with nifty results. I enjoyed it.
