Timelapse, or the beauty of CSS in action

A really nice video by Matthew Buchanan about his process of building a website. Very interesting to see the different styles gradually applied in the process.

I first considered using a TextMate macro to do the heavy lifting with regard to the CSS file, but my friend and colleague offered a much better solution: the contents of stylesheets are exposed in the DOM, so JavaScript could probably be used to apply the CSS rules in sequence, and the result recorded with screencasting software.

If you want to make your own video Matthew gives a script to do it on his blog:
