I'm not sure I understand why CSS was chosen for this project. It looks to me like he's creating a static image, transforming it, and feeding it as a green screen overlay into a video mixer. Since everything is static, wouldn't it have been simpler to just make a PNG in PhotoShop and use that?

The names of the swimmers have to be updated dynamically. Easier to update via HTML and CSS, and since he's piping through his laptop's VGA output as the keyed overlay, it can be modified in realtime.
