I operate a movie theater that employs mostly high school teenagers . When they start, most have never picked up a broom in their lives and lack other simple skills. This video is now part of my "Day 1: Common Tasks For Your New Life As A Wage Slave". Many thanks to those who made this.

There is better method to sweeping a space "especially an extra large or studio space." The method is to start on the outside perimeter and sweep inwards making a large circle around the room... gradually making the circle smaller and pushing debris into one pile at the center of the room. If there's a large volume of debris in the room, you can divide the room into smaller quadrants. This method allows for the least amount of wasted steps while sweeping such a large area.

I'm only watching this as a punishment

instructions not clear, house on fire

All I wanted was to learn a new guitar technique. I left with crippling depression.

I think people nay be missing a really big message hidden in this video. People always seem to be way to literal and especially when your watching a vid that mixes technical info with art. Look for the allegoric aspect in both the narration and the filming. There is a little more there than meets the eye.

why are they always wearing NASA stuff in all of their videos?

only sachs can make me watch a video about sweeping

I have been frustrated with contour irregularities my entire adult life. What a wonderful piece.

I saw this video 10 years ago and I have applied it to many different parts of my life over the years. Drastically improved the overall quality of my life in hindsight. I came back to say thank you.

I still come back to this video whenever I need to sweep the house. It's so good...

i just knolled the shit out of my desk while watching this

I’m a landscape gardener, so often raking large expanses of lawn etc.

Why does this make sweeping look so cool?

Sweeping is much more of an art than is described here.

Inefficient, yet artful.

This might be the greatest video on the web.

My toddler loved this. Can you make one for every household chore? Maybe a pean to the courage and endurance needed to sit still for a haircut or face wiping?

These video's are so strange, I love it!

You might want to invest into a push broom :)
