The video is by a group of students at Temasek Polytechnic in Singapore. While the Singaporean education system seems mostly geared toward memorization and repetition, Temasek is different in that the school's focus is on the arts. (a good friend of mine is a graduate and he tells me the spirit of entrepreneurship there is quite high). Anyway, some students did a little music video a couple years back, and how you view it can give you an idea which side of your brain is dominant.
If you're intrigued by the visual imagery, the cinematography, the dance, the references to films, and the original ways they found to express this song, you're probably looking at it more from a right brain perspective. You're considering the creativity.
If, instead, you watch it and think about all the logistics involved in doing this entire 4-minute video is a single continuous take -- how do you get people to pop out at the right time, how do they coordinate from one end of the building to the other, what happens if someone sneezes -- then you're more analytical, and viewing this more with the left side of your brain.
But if you just think it's cool and you're going "yay, go students!," then you're probably in balance. And that's pretty much where you want to be.
