Home Box Office’s new web video project, HBO Voyeur, panders to that human need to ogle other people’s ordinary lives. It’s like watching fish in a fish tank, only better — because they’re people!

The premise was simple: Using a single, stationary camera angle and no dialogue, viewers would be invited to literally peer into the apartments of the show’s characters. Stories would unfold strictly through action, often times in multiple rooms at once (and often times multiple story lines at once). A mellow soundtrack for the project is provided by musical artists like Clint Mansell, who did the music for the movie Requiem for a Dream, and Interpol’s Carlos D.
