Good luck, and thanks for the tip, Colin!
Obligatory video geek snark: I don’t know how I’d create a video file at 72dpi (it’s not exactly going to print), but assuming I could, I love the idea that the Crown Lights Tower jumbotron is displaying 72 pixels per inch. Maybe 72 pixels per meter?
Video standards aside, sounds like a cool contest! Here’s a relevant question for artists who are interested: what are the pixel coordinates of the buildlng’s corners?
