Hello Mr. Ebert,
I thought you might like to see this: http://vimeo.com/14235738 It is an experimental film reconstructing the Psycho shower scene using a different remake from YouTube for every shot (55 shots, 55 different films used) with the original sound to hang it all together. Hope you enjoy it!
All the best-
Dick Whyte
