The clip was created in 2000 by Melon Dezign for the launch of thebeatles.com and the original Beatles 1 album. At the time internet connection speeds for most users was only 56K; high quality video was only available to those in corporate offices with faster connections. Most had to watch the video through small Windows or Quicktime video players – often a slow buffered and pixellated experience. Flash and vector graphics were the only solution to create large size visuals that could be published at a fraction of the file size – the entire ‘Come Together’ video could be scaled up to any size and only took up 8mb. This the first time that the film has officially been seen in all its glory.
