Forward by Messe Kopp is a clever one shot video filmed then reversed to a very neat effect. [via] posted by quin (17 comments total)

Was looking forward to the big payoff -- did I overlook it?
I'm glad it wasn't just me. I suppose that is just a side-effect of the overstimulated world we live in, that a neat little project like this is met with a solid "MEH". I mean, it wasn't necessarily a bad execution, but I was thoroughly unimpressed, having not only seen it done before, but done better. posted by mysterpigg at 9:07 AM on March 20, 2013
Here's another one, and I'll tell you up front that the big payoff is that it was done on one Super 8 reel of film with no post editing. Everything was done in-camera: EVOL posted by carsonb at 9:16 AM on March 20, 2013
Also, I kept waiting for the lyrics to start on this song, to see if Messe Kopp was going to go full homage on Fatlip and learn how to lip-synch his rap backwards. Alas. This was a cool video, I liked some of the creative things they had him doing, but against some of the more inspired entries in this particular genre of short video it falls a bit flat. posted by carsonb at 9:19 AM on March 20, 2013
Fitting that much of the text shown in the video was in a right-to-left writing system. posted by Dreadnought at 9:36 AM on March 20, 2013 [2 favorites]
I feel bad that my response reads as "Meh." Because it wasn't and because I disapprove of Meh Culture in general and try to resist it. I watched all the way through!
By big payoff, I meant that I was wondering towards the end about the reverse stunt that tops all the others, but also, especially, the stunt that gives all the others some context and meaning.
What state of the world or character essence of The Walker could lead that particular series of events?
Still, it's impressive and clever. posted by notyou at 11:03 AM on March 20, 2013
dazed_one, that's exactly what the mattress reminded me of in the beginning (the end).
Add me to the meh chorus, as much as I like to meh quietly/privately. I just don't see the story, or why the reverse is all that different/meaningful. The Coldplay video reverse works because the song is going "back to the start." posted by mochapickle at 11:59 AM on March 20, 2013
What I thought was going to happen was that somewhere towards the end something was going to happen that was Forwards, and that could not possible have been filmed in the way that the rest was. Something like with the bottle of wine, maybe. If that had been spilt on the ground, instead of sucked up to the bottle. Just something to make you go "hang on..." and then have to rewind and look for the joins.
That'd be pretty cool, actually. Some magician should try that. posted by Nossidge at 5:46 PM on March 20, 2013

¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
