Vine shows a halftime speed-portrait

Well, it looks like Vine is starting to catch on, folks.  I suppose this is a more practical use for it.  Last night, during an NBA playoff game between the Nets and the Bulls, a speed painter put together a halftime masterpiece of Brooklyn's all-star guard, Deron Williams.  It is impressive, to say the least, that someone could put something like this together in the 15-ish minutes that he had to do so.  What's more pertinent to the class however is the fact that Vine was used.  Nobody wants to watch a 15-minute video of a guy running around and painting.  Vine took this spectacle and seriously condensed it, making it more appealing to the online audience.  Take a look: http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/04/amazing-artist-speed-paints-deron-williams-portrait-at-halftime/.  I have a feeling we're gonna see a lot more of Vine in the future of journalism.
