The title is a joke - this clip is so old, that when I made it in 1999, the year 2000 was still the future.

I had just gotten a copy of Adobe After Effects and wanted to play with the masking tools, so I went with a few friends to a road on the RIT campus, set up a tripod, and recorded cars going by. I also recorded myself running into the road, and later I composited all that footage together. When it was finished I posted it to my website.

This was one of my first videos, and one of the first "fake viral" clips to ever appear on the Internet. It has appeared on hundreds of websites and probably been seen millions of times.
