The video was lost on me whereas the demo made me think how cool it was.

I expected the video to explain what it was but alas no. The video is just the demo running. The demo was brilliant, but, the video of the demo, although practically the same had me wondering quite negative thoughts. I wasn't thinking 'how do they do that', I was thinking 'this is a bit pretentious'. It is amazing the difference context makes.

Everyone experiences things differently. Some people see a sports car and think, "Wow, I wonder how it works?" Others, "Wow, I hate that colour." Doesn't really matter.

Totally agree. I can't watch the demo run because I'm on Firefox, and I have no desire to watch a video for the reasons you described. And the world keeps spinning, I guess.
