Going under the name, All is Not Lost  the smarty pants HTML5 wizadry lets you embed a personal message in a music video and have the band dance it out.

Both the band and the dancers were filmed through a clear floor, with the choreography cleverly making words and messages.

Here’s Google to explain the technlogy:

All is Not Lost is built in HTML5 with the browser Google Chrome in mind. Different shots are rendered in different browser windows that move, re-size and re-align throughout the piece. With HTML5’s canvas technology, these videos are drawn in perfect timing with the music…

All is Not Lost is best experienced in Chrome at allisnotlo.st. For web developers curious about how the experience was created, you can read more on the Google Code Blog.

We’ve been trying to get the thing running for some time now, but we guess the traffic is too heavy at the moment.

See if you can get in on the action here: allisnotlo.st
