"First, the song is simply astounding and deserved a video accompaniment."
Because music doesn't make sense without video.
Nice animation though.
I'm ...happy... to report I either had forgotten or did not know that YYZ is the Toronto airport code letters.

I thought it was a joke about zippers.

Fucking awesome.
Where are Alex and Geddy?
The time taken by someone to make this must have been massive.

From Neil Peart's comments in the Presto concert book: (yes, I remembered reading this at the concert)
"You know, I was thinking about what my drum kit would look like if I had all the real instruments up there, rather than a box full of floppy disks and a couple of samplers. Picture a stage which contained (in addition to that little ol' drumset): temple blocks, orchestra bells, bell tree, glockenspiel, marimba, various African drums (including ones like 'djembe' that I don't even know what it looks like), three tympani, a full symphony orchestra, a 'beeper,' a big gong, harp, synthesizer, congas, bongos, another timbale, castanets, voice-drums (recorded drum sounds vocalized by MOI) a big huge sheet of metal, jackhammer, wood block, claves, jingled coins, my old red Tama drumkit, and Count Basie and his band.
"Oh sure, it would look great alright, but honestly -- where would I put all that stuff? And where would the other two guys stand?
"Yeah, you're right; I don't need those guys anyway."

Being a member of the Campaign is not that much further from this description.
