2.4 MB for a video that is part of what was clearly a designed interactive experience for desktop/laptop doesn't seem like any kind of big deal.

This "designed for laptop" sentiment and (most) of the parallax et al "experience" sites kind of upset me. People use tablets and phones. Acknowledge reality and provide content tolerable to the medium.

I give Teehan+Lax and portfolio sites in general a free pass on this (most important visitors are sitting at desks), but much of the internet seems to willfully disregard audience needs and desires as devices, contexts, and limitations expand.
